rplay documentation

[Joel Hammer]

I installed rplay. It works, on my caldera 2.4 box. 
To compile: ./configure;make;make install
Then, prepare the configuration files (four) in /usr/local/etc.

cat rplay.conf
/mnt/hdc1/Sounds/Bonnie_Raitt_Nobodys_Girl.mp3
/mnt/hdc1/Backup_jhammer6/usr/local/lib/aim/sounds/ring.wav

cat rplay.helpers
.*mp3$  linear16,44100,16,2,little-endian  /usr/bin/mpg123 -s -q -r 44100
--stereo -         

cat rplay.hosts 
*:rwx     <-----No security 

cat rplay.servers
localhost
                                                                                  
Piece of cake.
The only bug was having to transfer a library manually to /usr/lib.

I started rplayd as a standalone. Worked find.
Then, rplay Bonnie_Raitt_Nobodys_Girl.mp3 actually works.

NOW:
The documentation that comes with the program is not, shall we say,
exhaustive. Thus, I have no idea what rplay is good for. For some reason
I have gotten the idea that it can be used to play sounds stored on a
server and deliver them to a client who is logged in with a remote X
session; but, I really don't know if that is true.  Can someone point
me to a simple but comprehensive description on how to use this thing?
There is nothing at the StepxStep on this. I'll be happy to write one
if I ever get this figured out and it is actually useful.

Thanks,
Joel
