As it stands now Mix merely calls Csound in this manner (in mix.c):
if (catchup==0) {
sprintf(streng, "csound -o devaudio %s.orc %s.sco &", value,
value);
system(streng);
}
break;
Crude, yes. But it is dependent on multiple processes being able to
access the same device, something apparently easy for SGI iron but not
so simple under Linux. I understand that EsounD (esd) does it, but I
think that Csound would have to become esd-aware, and I don't know how
that's done.

Under the Settings menu there is an item called Internet Slaves. Opening
this item calls a window with entry boxes for host names and check boxes
for activating and accepting connections to the hosts. I just want to
test whatever it is that this feature does.
