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.
