NAME

       roartips - Tips for RoarAudio users

SYNOPSIS

	roard [OPTIONS...] ...

	roarclient [OPTIONS...] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This manpage lists some tips for intermedia to advanced users of RoarAudio.

CONTROLLING ROARD

       RoarAudio supports a lot of things you can change on the fly.  This includes the volume for each stream as you may allready noticed: If you
       cange the volume within a player only this stream is changed, other streams keep there loudness. There a a lot other  things  that  can	be
       changed on the fly.  To do this there is a tool called roarctl(1). You may want to play around a bit with it. A good start are to try those
       two commands:
	roarctl --help
	roarctl allinfo

       The later one will show you all information current available of the server it self, the clients and the streams. This may include a lot of
       information.

SERVER ADDRESS

       There  a serverel types of server addresses based on the protocol used to communicate.  This lists the corrently implemented types in order
       of importance:

       /path/to/sock
	      Path to UNIX Domain Socket.  Example:
	       /tmp/roar

       host, host:port
	      This is used for connections over TCP/IP.  If port is omitted the default port is used.  Examples:
	       audio.homeserver.local
	       localhost:7564

       node::, node::object, ::object, ::
	      This is the way to specify a DECnet connection to node node's object object. Both may be omitted to use defaults. Default node  name
	      is local hosts node name.  Examples:
	       mynode::
	       ::roar
	       yournode::yourroard

       +fork  This starts a new roard for every roar_connect(3).  This is used internaly by the lib to emulate EsounD's fallback.

ENVIRONMENT

       ROAR_SERVER
	      This  varibale contains the default server address. If some client does not allow a user to set a server address or to set a default
	      value this one come into play. Examples:
	       ROAR_SERVER=some.host
	       ROAR_SERVER=another.host:port
	       ROAR_SERVER=node::
	       ROAR_SERVER=/tmp/roar

NAME

       roarcat, roarmon - RoarAudio sound server base clients

SYNOPSIS

       roarcat [OPTIONS]... [FILE]

       roarmon [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

       This  are  some	basic  clients	for  RoarAuido.  Some more complex are listen in the SEE ALSO block.  For controlling roard take a look at
       roarctl(1). For a simple Ogg Vorbis player take a look at roarvorbis(1) (ogg123 supportes RoarAudio via libao plugin).

       roarcat
	      Sends raw PCM audio data from a file or stdin (pipe) to the sound server.

       roarmon
	      Gets a copy of the audio data the server sends to the soundcard. This is useful for streaming to a server like icecast2(1).

GENERAL OPTIONS

       NOTE: This list is incomplete!  In addition to this list all three programs provide compatible options for esdcat,  esdmon.  You  can  just
       replace the "esd" in the name with "roar" or use symlinks. This options are for compatibly only and should not used in new programs.

       --help Print some help text.

AUDIO OPTIONS

       --rate RATE, -R RATE
	      Set server sample rate.

       --bits BITS, -B BITS
	      Set server bits.

       --chans CHANNELS, -C CHANNELS
	      Set server channels.

NETWORK OPTIONS

       --server SERVER
	      The server to connect to.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       Bellow only the basic environment varibales are listend.  For a complete list see libroar(7).

       HOME   The users home directory.

       ROAR_SERVER
	      The address of the listening server. This may be in form of host:port for TCP/IP connections and /path/to/sock for UNIX Domain Sock-
	      ets or any other supported format. See roartips(7) for a full list.  This is the same as the --server option.

BUGS

       There are a lot of bugs...
