NAME

       libroar - RoarAudio sound library

       roarvs - RoarAudio very simple API

SYNOPSIS

	#include <roaraudio.h>

	roar_vs_t * vss;

DESCRIPTION

       The  VS	(for  Very  Simple)  API  is  a high level abstraction layer used to allow use of RoarAudio from very simple programs. The API was
       designed to help people to easly upgrade existing artsc and pulse-simple code to RoarAudio. While the API is equivalently simple it is much
       more powerful than one one by aRtsc or PulseAudio.

       The VS API also has a mode to play back (and record) files easly. As this uses VIO/DSTR it can handle streams as well.
