    ... and (let me repeat it) your ssh server at address foobar.local,
if foobar is the name of your host, as printed by the command
'hostname'. And also your web server, if any, at address
http://foobar.local/

    This is the DNS-SD protocol, developped originally by Apple under
the name "Bonjour". It is supported by every OS, including Android.
Devuan's support for DNS-SD is avahi-daemon.

    It allows you to print documents from your smartphone, since
Android also supports CUPS. I guess all this is also valid with IOS. The
only OS not supporting CUPS is Windoze.

    AFAIU what you're doing, I doubt you need pulseaudio.
