NAME

       muroar_beep - Send notify beep to RoarAudio sound daemon

SYNOPSIS

       #include <muroar.h>

       int muroar_beep	 (muroar_t fh);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  sends  a  notify  beep  to the sound daemon fh is connected to.	fh need to be connected using muroar_connect(3) to a sound
       server supporting the RoarAudio protocol and the BEEP command.

RETURN VALUE

       On success this call return 0. On error, -1 is returned.

NOTES

       The beep is canceld at the server side as soon as the connection is closed. This means that you should not close the connection before  the
       beep is played completely.

BUGS

       This  commands  requests  the server for a default beep. No other kind of beep can be send.  There is in addition no way to tell the actual
       length of the beep.  The application should at least wait a bit more than 512ms before closing the socket.  In case possible it is good	to
       wait a minimum of about one secound to be really sure the beep ended.

HISTORY

       This function first appeared in muRoar version 0.1rc2.
