Tracker and s3mod play well, as does say from rsynth and I have installed NAS. The NAS documentation makes mention of a NAS SERVER but I have no clue about such a beast. Is this a piece of NCD non-free code? (not to denegrate NCD in any way). Or am I just missing something terribly obvious. Also, what the heck do I use to get sound IN the machine? Can I just cat /dev/audio and get stuff? What format is the stuff? What about the other snd devices? Please tell me where I missed all this in TFM. Andrew
