Its a way of taking in audio from a SPARCstation microphone & broadcasting
at on an ethernet. Other systems can 'tune in' and put the audio out
through their speaker.

Quality is AM-radio level (64kbit/s telephone rate). Great for hooking
up a radio to a server so you can get news etc. on your desktop.

If you're running Solaris 2.3 look in /usr/demo/SOUND, and the
manpages for radio and xmit etc.
