libao.conf(5)		       libao configuration		   libao.conf(5)

NAME
     libao.conf - configuration for libao.

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/local/etc/libao.conf

     ~/.libao

DESCRIPTION
     libao.conf  and  .libao are configuration files for libao, the audio output
     library.  They specify  various  options  to  libao,  as  described  below.
     libao.conf  sets  system-wide  options, whereas ~/.libao sets user-specific
     options.  When an option is set in both  places,  the  option  in	~/.libao
     takes precedence.

FILE FORMAT
     The  file	consists of comments and key-value pairs.  Comments are on sepa-
     rate lines that start with a # symbol.  The  key-value  pairs  are  of  the
     form:
	    key=value
     where  key contains no whitespace and no equal signs.  value will be all of
     the text after the equal sign until (but not including) the ending newline.
     Beware of extra spaces at the end of the line!  They will probably  be  in-
     terpreted as part of the option value.

     The  following  is  a list of valid global option keys. Any driver specific
     option may be used as well as those keys.

	    default_driver
		   The short name of the driver libao  should  use  by	default.
		   Valid  values  include  (not all are available on every plat-
		   form): oss, esd, arts, alsa, nas, irix, sun, roar and  sndio.
		   Note  that  "sun"  is used on many BSD systems as well as So-
		   laris.

	    debug (Value optional/ignored)
		   Sets all the drivers as well as AO itself into debugging out-
		   put mode.  Unlike passing the debug option to a driver, debug
		   will also print debugging information from driver loading and
		   testing.

	    quiet (Value optional/ignored)
		   Sets all the drivers as well as AO itself into  silent  mode.
		   Errors  will return only error codes; neither ao nor the dri-
		   vers will print any output whatsoever to stderr.

	    verbose (Value optional/ignored)
		   Sets all the drivers as well as AO itself into verbose mode.

EXAMPLE
     Here is an example libao.conf that forces the OSS driver to be used by  de-
     fault:

	 # This is a comment.
	 default_driver=oss

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