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.
