*Step 2*: Start para_server
-Before starting the server make sure you have write permissions to
-the directory /var/paraslash that has been created during installation:
-
- sudo chown $LOGNAME /var/paraslash
-
-Alternatively, use the --afs-socket Option to specify a different
-location for the AFS command socket.
-
For this first try, we'll use the info loglevel to make the output
of para_server more verbose.
*Step 4*: Configure para_audiod
-para_audiod needs to create a "well-known" socket for the clients to
-connect to. The default path for this socket is
-
- /var/paraslash/audiod_socket.$HOSTNAME
-
-In order to make this directory writable for para_audiod, execute
-as bar@client_host
-
- sudo chown $LOGNAME /var/paraslash
-
-
-We will also have to tell para_audiod that it should receive the
-audio stream from server_host via http:

para_audiod -l info -r '.:http -i server_host'
*Troubleshooting*
-It did not work? To find out why, try to receive, decode and play the
-stream manually using para_recv, para_filter and para_write as follows.
+If you receive a socket related error on server or audiod startup,
+make sure you have write permissions to the /var/paraslash directory:
+ sudo chown $LOGNAME /var/paraslash
+
+Alternatively, use the --afs-socket (para_server) or --socket
+(para_audiod) option to specify a different socket pathname.

For simplicity we assume that you're running Linux/ALSA and that only
MP3 files have been added to the database.
