SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

16       libao.conf and .libao are configuration files for libao, the audio out‐
17       put library.  They specify  various  options  to  libao,  as  described
18       below.   libao.conf  sets  system-wide  options,  whereas ~/.libao sets
19       user-specific options.  When an option  is  set  in  both  places,  the
20       option in ~/.libao takes precedence.

FILE FORMAT

24       The  file  consists  of  comments and key-value pairs.  Comments are on
25       separate lines that start with a # symbol.  The key-value pairs are  of
26       the form:
27               key=value
28       where key contains no whitespace and no equal signs.  value will be all
29       of the text after the equal sign until (but not including)  the  ending
30       newline.   Beware  of  extra  spaces at the end of the line!  They will
31       probably be interpreted as part of the option value.
32
33       Valid option keys are:
34
35              default_driver
36                     The short name of the driver libao should use by default.
37                     Valid  values  include  (not  all  are available on every
38                     platform): oss, esd, arts, alsa, alsa05, nas,  irix,  and
39                     sun.  Note that "sun" is used on many BSD systems as well
40                     as Solaris.  The "alsa" driver is for the 0.9.x ALSA API,
41                     whereas the "alsa05" driver is for the 0.5.x API.

EXAMPLE

45       Here  is an example libao.conf that forces the OSS driver to be used by
46       default:
47
48           # This is a comment.
49           default_driver=oss

BUGS

53       libao.conf is missing a number of potentially useful options.
