muroard(1) System User's Manual: muroard muroard(1)NAME
muroard - minimalist sound server for the RoarAudio protocol
SYNOPSIS
muroard [OPTIONS]...
DESCRIPTION
muRoarD is a sound server supporting the RoarAudio protocol. It is designed to mix the audio data of multiple applications together to
send it as a single stream to the soundcard.
muRoarD is a minimalist version of such a sound server. It does only implement the very minimum part the the protocol but is very much
smaller than the original roard.
MISC OPTIONS -h --help
Print a short help and exit.
--version
Print version information of the daemon and exit.
--daemon
Bring the server into background after init.
On win32 this hides the console window. This only works if used within a Shortcut.
--autostandby
Start in autostandby mode.
--no-autostandby
Do not start in autostandby mode.
--standby
Start in standby mode.
--no-standby
Do not start in standby mode.
AUDIO OPTIONS -R--rate RATE
Set server sample rate.
-C--chans CHANNELS
Set server number of channels channels.
DRIVER OPTIONS -O--odevice DEV
Set output device (sound card). The possible values of this depend on the used driver.
SOURCES OPTIONS -S DEV Set the file or device for the new source.
-sC CHANS
Sets the number of channels for the source. This is the same as '-sO channels=XXX' for roard.
-sB BITS
Sets the number of bits for the source. This is the same as '-sO bits=XXX' for roard.
-sE CODEC
Sets codec for the source. This is the same as '-sO codec=XXX' for roard.
NETWORK OPTIONS --no-listen
Disable listen socket. This may be used for example to implement the server type '+fork' but is absolutly useless for normal users.
--client-fh FH
Add a client via FH. See --no-listen.
--bind ADDR
Set path/hostname of listen socket. This may be a /path/to/sock for UNIX Sockets or a hostname or address for TCP/IP.
Please do not use IP Addresses directly if not needed. Use hostnames.
On win32 there is no support for UNIX sockets. Only IP is supported.
--port PORT
Set port of listen socket. This only applys for TCP/IP sockets and is ignorged for UNIX Sockets.
-u--unix
Use UNIX Domain listen socket.
This is not supported on win32.
-t--tcp
Use TCP/IP listen socket.
-n--decnet
Use DECnet listen socket.

roarcat, roarmon - RoarAudio sound server base clients
SYNOPSIS
roarcat [OPTIONS]... [FILE]
roarmon [OPTIONS]...
DESCRIPTION
This are some basic clients for RoarAuido. Some more complex are listen in the SEE ALSO block. For controlling roard take a look at
roarctl(1). For a simple Ogg Vorbis player take a look at roarvorbis(1) (ogg123 supportes RoarAudio via libao plugin).
roarcat
Sends raw PCM audio data from a file or stdin (pipe) to the sound server.
roarmon
Gets a copy of the audio data the server sends to the soundcard. This is useful for streaming to a server like icecast2(1).
GENERAL OPTIONS
NOTE: This list is incomplete! In addition to this list all three programs provide compatible options for esdcat, esdmon. You can just
replace the "esd" in the name with "roar" or use symlinks. This options are for compatibly only and should not used in new programs.
--help Print some help text.
AUDIO OPTIONS --rate RATE, -R RATE
Set server sample rate.
--bits BITS, -B BITS
Set server bits.
--chans CHANNELS, -C CHANNELS
Set server channels.
NETWORK OPTIONS --server SERVER
The server to connect to.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Bellow only the basic environment varibales are listend. For a complete list see libroar(7).
HOME The users home directory.
ROAR_SERVER
The address of the listening server. This may be in form of host:port for TCP/IP connections and /path/to/sock for UNIX Domain Sock-
ets or any other supported format. See roartips(7) for a full list. This is the same as the --server option.
BUGS
There are a lot of bugs...
