|---|
| 12 | \fBlibroar\fR is the central library used to comunicate with RoarAudio servers. |

| 18 | .SH "EXAMPLES" |
|---|
| 19 | The basic tools shiped with RoarAudio are designed to also work as examples for the lib. |
|---|
| 20 | You may start by looking at \fBroarcat\fR(1)s source code as an example on how to simply play back |
|---|
| 21 | some audio. A more complex example is \fBroarvorbis\fR(1) which also includes meta data updates. |
