10
11roarcat [OPTIONS]... COMMAND [OPTS] [COMMAND [OPTS] [COMMAND [OPTS] [...]]]
12
13.SH "DESCRIPTION"
14This tool controlls the RoarAudio's sound server.
15This is done by sending commands to the server. See \fBCOMMANDS\fR for a list.
16
17.SH "GENERAL OPTIONS"
18.TP
19\fB--help\fR
20Print some help text.
21
22.SH "NETWORK OPTIONS"
23.TP
24\fB--server SERVER\fR
25The server to connect to
26
27.SH "COMMANDS"
28.TP
29\fBhelp\fR
30Same as \fB--help\fR.
31
32.TP
33\fBstandby\fR, \fBoff\fR, \fBresume\fR, \fBon\fR
34Brings the server into standby mode or back into achtive (operating mode).
35
36.TP
37\fBstandbymode\fR
38Tells if the server is in standby mode or not.
39
40.TP
41\fBexit\fR
42Quits the server.
43
44.TP
45\fBvolume STREAMID CHANNELS VOL0 VOL1 VOL2...\fR
46Sets the mixing level for a stream with id \fISTREAMID\fR.
47
48\fICHANNELS\fR is the nummber of channels to set volume.
49This should be the number of channels of the stream or a symbolic name.
50Currently the symbolic names \fBmono\fR and \fBstereo\fR are allowed.
51If you use \fBmono\fR all channels will get the level you give as
52\fIVOL0\fR. If you use \fBstereo\fR it will try to set the mixing levels
53as you are used from stereo setups even if the setup is not in stereo.
54
55The parameters \fIVOL0\fR ... \fIVOLn\fR and the number of them depends
56on what you gave as \fICHANNELS\fR. You have to give exactly \fICHANNELS\fR
57parameters.
58
59If you give a numerical (not symbolic) value for \fICHANNELS\fR and
60the stream does have a diffrent number of channels the behavor is undefined.
61In the current implementation only the first \fICHANNELS\fR channels will be updated.
62This behavor may change in the future.
