muroard(1)

📦 version 0.1.14, in ubuntu jammy

💖 muroard — it's the manual page bestie, section 1 💖

okay so welcome to the muroard(1) page, straight outta the System User's Manual: muroard 💅 this is the whole thing, no skips, no cuts.

✨ NAME ✨

muroard — a minimalist sound server for the RoarAudio protocol 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

muroard [OPTIONS]...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so muRoarD is a sound server that speaks the RoarAudio protocol. its whole thing? it mixes the audio data from a bunch of different applications together and sends all of that as one single stream to the soundcard. iconic behaviour honestly 🌈

muRoarD is the minimalist version of a sound server like this. it only implements the very minimum part of the protocol — but it is very much smaller than the original roard. tiny queen, small footprint, does the job 👑

✨ MISC OPTIONS ✨

the little quality-of-life ones, the misc girlies:

  • -h, --help — prints a short help and then exits. bye bestie 👋
  • --version — prints version information of the daemon and exits.
  • --daemon — brings the server into the background after init.
on win32 this hides the console window. this only works if used within a Shortcut. fr fr, don't skip that part.
  • --autostandby — start in autostandby mode.
  • --no-autostandby — do not start in autostandby mode.
  • --standby — start in standby mode.
  • --no-standby — do not start in standby mode.

✨ AUDIO OPTIONS ✨

  • -R, --rate RATE — set server sample rate 🎵
  • -C, --chans CHANNELS — set server number of channels channels. (yes that's the wording, we keep it exactly, no editing the lore 💀)

✨ DRIVER OPTIONS ✨

  • -O, --odevice DEV — set output device (sound card). the possible values of this depend on the used driver — so like, it's giving "depends on your setup" energy 🦋

✨ SOURCES OPTIONS ✨

  • -S DEV — set the file or device for the new source.
  • -sC CHANS — sets the number of channels for the source. this is the same as '-sO channels=XXX' for roard.
  • -sB BITS — sets the number of bits for the source. this is the same as '-sO bits=XXX' for roard.
  • -sE CODEC — sets codec for the source. this is the same as '-sO codec=XXX' for roard.
  • -sD DIR — sets direction of the source: in (source) or out (dump).

✨ NETWORK OPTIONS ✨

  • --no-listen — disable listen socket. this may be used for example to implement the server type '+fork', but it is absolutely useless for normal users. like genuinely, not for you bestie 🙈
  • --client-fh FH — add a client via FH. see --no-listen.
  • --bind ADDR — set path/hostname of listen socket. this may be a /path/to/sock for UNIX Sockets, or a hostname or address for TCP/IP.
please do not use IP Addresses directly if not needed. use hostnames. periodt 💅
on win32 there is no support for UNIX sockets. only IP is supported.
  • --port PORT — set port of listen socket. this only applys for TCP/IP sockets and is ignored for UNIX Sockets.
  • -u, --unix — use UNIX Domain listen socket.
this is not supported on win32.
  • -t, --tcp — use TCP/IP listen socket.
  • -n, --decnet — use DECnet listen socket.
