16 | .SH "CONTROLLING ROARD" |
---|
17 | RoarAudio supports a lot of things you can change on the fly. |
---|
18 | This includes the volume for each stream as you may allready noticed: |
---|
19 | If you cange the volume within a player only this stream is changed, other streams |
---|
20 | keep there loudness. There a a lot other things that can be changed on the fly. |
---|
21 | To do this there is a tool called \fBroarctl\fR(1). You may want to play around a bit |
---|
22 | with it. A good start are to try those two commands: |
---|
23 | roarctl --help |
---|
24 | roarctl allinfo |
---|
25 | |
---|
26 | The later one will show you all information current available of the server it self, |
---|
27 | the clients and the streams. This may include a lot of informations. |
---|
28 | |
---|
29 | .SH "SERVER ADDRESS" |
---|
30 | There a serverel types of server addresses based on the protocoll used to communicate. |
---|
31 | This lists the corrently implemented types in order of importance: |
---|
32 | |
---|
33 | .TP |
---|
34 | \fB/path/to/sock\fR |
---|
35 | Path to UNIX Domain Socket. |
---|
36 | Example: |
---|
37 | /tmp/roar |
---|
38 | |
---|
39 | .TP |
---|
40 | \fBhost\fR, \fBhost:port\fR |
---|
41 | This is used for connections over TCP/IP. |
---|
42 | If port is omitted the default port is used. |
---|
43 | Examples: |
---|
44 | audio.homeserver.local |
---|
45 | localhost:7564 |
---|
46 | |
---|
47 | .TP |
---|
48 | \fBnode::\fR, \fBnode::object\fR, \fB::object\fR, \fB::\fR |
---|
49 | This is the way to specify a DECnet connection to node \fBnode\fR's |
---|
50 | object \fBobject\fR. Both may be omitted to use defaults. Default |
---|
51 | node name is local hosts node name. |
---|
52 | Examples: |
---|
53 | mynode:: |
---|
54 | ::roar |
---|
55 | yournode::yourroard |
---|
56 | |
---|
57 | .TP |
---|
58 | \fB+fork\fR |
---|
59 | This starts a new roard for every \fBroar_connect\fR(3). |
---|
60 | This is used internaly by the lib to emulate EsounD's |
---|
61 | fallback. |
---|
62 | |
---|
63 | .SH "ENVIRONMENT" |
---|
64 | .TP |
---|
65 | \fBROAR_SERVER\fR |
---|
66 | This varibale contains the default server address. If some client does not |
---|
67 | allow a user to set a server address or to set a default value this one |
---|
68 | come into play. Examples: |
---|
69 | ROAR_SERVER=some.host |
---|
70 | ROAR_SERVER=another.host:port |
---|
71 | ROAR_SERVER=node:: |
---|
