Description

41       AuOpenServer  creates  a  connection  to the specified audio server and
42       returns a pointer to an AuServer structure or NULL, with  return_status
43       (if non-NULL) pointing to an error message describing the reason, if it
44       was unsuccessfull.
45
46       If servername is NULL or a pointer to NUL, AuOpenServer get  the  value
47       from  the enviroment.  servername has the format hostname:port or host‐
48       name::port.  If a double colon (::) separates  the  hostname  and  port
49       number,  AuOpenServer connects using DECnet streams.  If a single colon
50       (:) separates the hostname and port number, and the hostname is a  host
51       machine  name,  AuOpenServer  connects  using TCP streams.  If a single
52       colon (:) separates the hostname and port number, and the  hostname  is
53       "unix",  AuOpenServer  connects using UNIX domain sockets (or Streams).
54       If the  hostname  is  not  specified,  AuOpenServer  uses  whatever  it
55       believes is the fastest transport.
