Pulseaudio also has a esound server plugin, i.e. esound clients can
connect to pulseaudio using the esound protocol.
Now, a nas server plugin would certainly be nice, especially since
pulseaudio has working resampling and you can also control the
volume of each client using a gui tool. :)


  Ahhh... I didn't get that nuance from the website.  So basically, a
  plugin (or minature nasd server really) would be integrated into
  pulse audio, allowing it to understand NAS protocol?  It would
  listen on the same ports, etc so that all existing nas clients could
  talk NAS to a pulse audio server instead and not really know the
  difference?.

  That would indeed be cool. :)


Exactly.  Someone would have to write that plugin though. :)



  Well, that's what, maybe a couple hours of work?  ;-)
