   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. :)
