nas is The Network Audio System (NAS)

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install nas on Fedora 34.

What is nas

In a nutshell, NAS is the audio equivalent of an X display server. The Network Audio System (NAS) was developed for playing, recording, and manipulating audio data over a network. Like the X Window System, it uses the client/server model to separate applications from the specific drivers that control audio input and output devices. Key features of the Network Audio System include • Device-independent audio over the network • Lots of audio file and data formats • Can store sounds in server for rapid replay • Extensive mixing, separating, and manipulation of audio data • Simultaneous use of audio devices by multiple applications • Use by a growing number of ISVs • Small size • Free! No obnoxious licensing terms
