Thank you developers of the TS client and server!

The program works absolutely flawlessy and I've just got a couple of things that I'd like to see improved, which are:

Client side:

* Be able to speficy the portnumber of the server I want to connect to. I've tried including the portnumber in the server name input field and not this.type.of.address:12 nor this type.of.address 12 worked for that.

* When I mute the sound OUTPUT, I would like the program to release /dev/dsp or whatever it is using for sound output. That will enable me to wait for somebody to join in the server and listen music in the mean time, as I do not have a sound card (Awe 64) that I can hear while running Teamsound.

Alternatively, try writing a small wrapper or a mini sound daemon that catches every attemt to write to /dev/dsp and mixes it in. There are a couple of examples in the code of the crossfade plugin for XMMS on how to do this.

Client and server:

* I've also not found throughout documentation and hope there is some available? More documentation and a man page would be good. 'make install' would be good too, for system wide installation with a --prefix of my own choice.

=) GREAT piece of software! Keep up the good work!
