dmapd is A server that provides DAAP and DPAP shares

= OVERVIEW =================================================================
	
The dmapd project provides a GObject-based, Open Source implementation 
of DMAP sharing with the following features:

 o Support for both DAAP and DPAP

 o Support for realtime transcoding of media formats not natively 
 supported by clients

 o Support for many metadata formats, such as those associated with Ogg 
 Vorbis and MP3 (e.g., ID3)

 o Detection of video streams so that clients may play them as video

 o Use of GStreamer to support a wide range of audio and video CODECs

 o Caching of photograph thumbnails to avoid regenerating them each time 
 the server restarts

= BUILDING =================================================================

 1. ./configure
 2. make
