+Q2.0.3: Compiling XEmacs with Netaudio.
+---------------------------------------
+
+ What is the best way to compile XEmacs with the netaudio system,
+since I have got the netaudio system compiled but installed at a weird
+place, I am not root. Also in the READMEs it does not say anything
+about compiling with the audioserver?
+
+ You should only need to add some stuff to the configure command line.
+To tell it to compile in netaudio support: `--with-sound=both', or
+`--with-sound=nas' if you don't want native sound support for some
+reason.) To tell it where to find the netaudio includes and libraries:
+
+ --site-libraries=WHATEVER
+ --site-includes=WHATEVER
+
+ Then (fingers crossed) it should compile and it will use netaudio if
+you have a server running corresponding to the X server. The netaudio
+server has to be there when XEmacs starts. If the netaudio server goes
+away and another is run, XEmacs should cope (fingers crossed, error
+handling in netaudio isn't perfect).
+
+ BTW, netaudio has been renamed as it has a name clash with something
+else, so if you see references to NAS or Network Audio System, it's the
+same thing. It also might be found at
+`ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/audio/nas/'.
