15999N/AThe <filename>&cmd;</filename> library provides access to the Enlightened
10139N/ASound Daemon (<filename>esd</filename>). The Enlightened Sound Daemon is
10139N/Alaunched automatically by <filename>&cmd;</filename> if the daemon is not
10139N/Aalready present. A sockets connection is managed with the daemon by this API.
10139N/AThe connection allows sound data to be written to the daemon for playback,
15999N/Aor read from the daemon for recording purposes.
15999N/A</para>
15999N/A<para>
15999N/AThe daemon will automatically sample an incoming stream from a client
10139N/Ato the best format that is supported by the sound device. Therefore, client
10139N/Aprograms do not have to be concerned with writing platform-specific code for
15999N/Ahandling sound data.
15999N/A</para>
15999N/A<para>
15999N/AThe daemon supports caching. Each sample is given an ID tag, and sound
15999N/Adata can then be accessed via this API with this ID tag.
15999N/A</para>
15999N/A<para>
15999N/AIf the audio device supports simultaneous record and playback at the
10139N/Asame bit resolution, bit rate, and number of channels (in other words, is
11904N/Afull duplex), then the daemon and API also supports simultaneous reading
15999N/Aand writing from the audio device.
