128 Audacious supports a headless operation mode, where Audacious does not
129 use X11 and instead operates as a daemon. You should note that you can‐
130 not switch between daemonized mode and X11 mode, and that if you wish
131 to switch back and forth, that you need to do so when starting the pro‐
132 gram.
133 When using Audacious in headless mode, you will need a client. Clients
135 compatible with Audacious are listed on the Audacious website.
