*reading the source*
Basically just tcp and unix domain sockets (I'll ignore decnet :-)).

tcp syntax should be:

tcp/somehost:someport
or
somehost:someport

unix domain socket syntax:

unix:instancenumber
or just
:instancenumber

Seems a bit inconsistent, I'd have expected unix/:0 or something
like that (which happens to be what X11 is using and NAS is kind of
based on the X protocol after all).

So:

Syntax:
Same as DISPLAY, but unix:0 instead of unix/:0

Examples:
AUDIOSERVER=(unix)?:0
Connect to NAS server instance 0 on localhost using unix domain sockets.
AUDIOSERVER=(tcp/)?somehost:8000
Connect to NAS server on somehost listening on tcp port 8000.
