NAME

       libao.conf - configuration for libao.

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/libao.conf

       ~/.libao

DESCRIPTION

       libao.conf  and	.libao	are  configuration files for libao, the audio output library.  They specify various options to libao, as described
       below.  libao.conf sets system-wide options, whereas ~/.libao sets user-specific options.  When an option is set in both places, the option
       in ~/.libao takes precedence.

FILE FORMAT

       The  file consists of comments and key-value pairs.  Comments are on separate lines that start with a # symbol.	The key-value pairs are of
       the form:
	       key=value
       where key contains no whitespace and no equal signs.  value will be all of the text after the equal sign until (but not including) the end-
       ing newline.  Beware of extra spaces at the end of the line!  They will probably be interpreted as part of the option value.

       The following is a list of valid global option keys. Any driver specific option may be used as well as those keys.

	      default_driver
		     The  short  name  of the driver libao should use by default.  Valid values include (not all are available on every platform):
		     oss, esd, arts, alsa, nas, irix, sun, and sndio.  Note that "sun" is used on many BSD systems as well as Solaris.

	      debug (Value optional/ignored)
		     Sets all the drivers as well as AO itself into debugging output mode.  Unlike passing the debug option  to  a  driver,  debug
		     will also print debugging information from driver loading and testing.

	      quiet (Value optional/ignored)
		     Sets  all the drivers as well as AO itself into silent mode.  Errors will return only error codes; neither ao nor the drivers
		     will print any output whatsoever to stderr.

	      verbose (Value optional/ignored)
		     Sets all the drivers as well as AO itself into verbose mode.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example libao.conf that forces the OSS driver to be used by default:

	   # This is a comment.
	   default_driver=oss

BUGS

       libao.conf is missing a number of potentially useful options.
