<p>Multicast DNS service discovery. </p>
<p>This driver can be used to publish information about a Player TCP service using the proposed IETF standard for multicast DNS service discovery (MDNS-SD). MDNS-SD is a part of the <a href="http://www.zeroconf.org">Zeroconf</a> protocols, and has also been called "Rendezvous".</p>
<p>If you use this driver, it is assumed that the standard Player 2 TCP transport is being used; the MDNS-SD service type is "_player2._tcp". In addition to any "service_description" given in the configuration file (see below), any loaded device drivers will be represented in the service's TXT record. Each device will be entered into the TXT record as: <code>device=</code><em>name</em><code>#</code><em>number</em><code>(</code><em>driver name</em><code>)</code>.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/">Howl</a> library is used for MDNS-SD and must be available for this driver to be compiled into the server.</p>
<p>This driver has no client proxy. When the driver is loaded and initialized, the service is published, and Howl responds to queries in a background thread. Clients may use Howl or any other MDNS-SD implementation to query and find services.</p>
