'''RoarAudio PlayList Daemon''' is a playlist daemon: a program that manages playlists. You can create, delete and manipulate playlists and play songs from them. Combined with a RoarAudio sound server and a user interface (CLI, TUI, GUI, WUI,...) it builds a media player. RoarAudio PlayList Daemon is controlled via a socket from local or remote applications. It can handle any number of clients. This includes zero clients. In this case it will simply keep it's current state (stopped, playing, ...). == What does rpld actually do? == * Management of playlists, * Management of queue of what should be played, * Playback (pushing data from files or streams to the sound server), * IO abstraction (Files, Streams,... This is in fact done by libroar). == What does rpld not do? == * Decoding or encoding of audio data, * Signal manipulation (like volume control), * Render nice effect plugins.
