NAME

       RoarAudio - RoarAudio sound system and package

SYNOPSIS

       roard [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

       RoarAudio  is  a  modern, multi-OS, network transparent sound system.  It supports a large amount of features required for home and profes-
       sional usage.  Its main purpose is to connect software (like media players) and devices (like soundcards) as a  mid-layer  adding  features
       you expect from a modern sound system like software mixing and full network transparency.

       RoarAudio  can  also be used to connect multiple software components. An example for such a setup is a common webradio setup where the used
       playback software is connected to a streaming server in addition to a local soundcard. RoarAudio has special features for such setups  like
       meta data passing.

MAIN FEATURES

	* fully network transparent. Network support for UNIX Domain Sockets, TCP/IP and DECnet
	* multiple audio streams per client
	* Vorbis comments like meta data for each audio stream
	* support for "legacy" clients via libroaresd, libroararts, libroaryiff
	* support for PulseAudio and OpenBSD's sndio clients via libroarpulse and libroarsndio
	* supported by many media players and other sound using applications!
	* mixing clients at individual levels like an analog mixer
	* server and client side support for common codecs like Ogg Vorbis, Speex, FLAC and many more
	* support for 8, 16, 24 and 32 bit per sample. Mixer resolution up to 64 bit
	* and many more...

BUGS

       A lot...

       roarcatad [OPTIONS]...

       roarsin

       roarsockconnect HOST PORT

DESCRIPTION

       This clients are primary for test perpose but may be useful for someone or can be used as examples.

       roarcat2sock
	      This is the same as roarcat(1) but uses roar_simple_new_stream(3) to open the audio stream.

       roarcatad
	      This is also the same as roarcat(1) but uses roar_stream_add_data(3) to fill the server's input buffer.

       roarsin
	      This is the complete version of the sinus generator from roartut(7).  It plays a 5 second middle C (523.2Hz) sine.

       roarsockconnect
	      This  is just a test tool connecting somewhere via roar_socket_connect(3).  First the data of stdin is copied to the socket than the
	      data from the socket to stdout. It's a very simlple semi-bi-directional version of netcat(1).
