Abstract
Workstation utility may be enhanced by the addition of audio and telephony functions for a number of applications, such as voice mail, multi-media documents, and computer conferencing. The requirements of these applications are outlined, and an audio server architecture, using a personal computer with a disk and speech-processing board as a server dedicated to the workstation, is presented. The functional interface between client and server is described, as well as the motivation for this specific server approach with particular emphasis on user interface considerations. Experience with the audio server architecture is reported and it is contrasted with alternate architectures
