Subject: A solution for making multimedia X-terminals
Date: 8 Sep 2003 02:55:01 GMT
Hi, Linux users,
If you are a user of the X-terminal, a manufacturer of X-terminal, or
you are trying to use and enjoy the X-terminal, I will like to introduce a
software for making multimedia X-terminals.
The MuNAS solves the problem that the X Window system does not support
the transformation of audio data. It makes the thin-client/server computing
model in Linux be capable of executing multimedia applications. The audio
data generated by Open Sound System (OSS/Free ) compatible audio
applications which are executed in the terminal server can be transferred to
X-terminals. The MuNAS is designed and developed for the thin-client system.
With MuNAS installed, you can execute multimedia applications in the
terminal server and listen for the sound from your X-terminal. Otherwise,
these applications must be executed mutely in the thin-client architecture
of Unix. Click to see screen snapshots for some multimedia applications.
*It is designed to work on multi-user operating systems: several users
can activate the network audio system by executing their own audio
applications in the same computer ( terminal server) and their audio data
can be forwarded to different computers (X-terminals) simultaneously.
*Existing audio applications do not need to be modified or recompiled,
and no additional audio libraries are required.
*The program is not restricted to any special form of audio data format
or device type; i.e., the audio applications can arbitrarily define their
own audio data formats and device types according to OSS/Free.
*The architecture of the MuNAS allows the audio mixing of audio data
from different processes of a user. The current version of MuNAS does not
provide this function. The MuNAS will support it in the future version.
*The MuNAS performs well, as indicated by its ability to send stereo,
16-bit, 44.1-kHz linear audio data to forty users in the same Linux terminal
server simultaneously.
Currently, several manufactures of windows terminal are going to install the
MuNAS in their X-terminals. One of the products which we have tested is the
XTerm series manufactured by DigiLife Technology, Inc. Dr. Rolf Hemmerling
( See http://www.hemmerling.com/html/en/linux02.html) is also installing it
in his X-terminal. You can download and use it freely from our web site at
http://www.advancedthintech.com or
