🌸 MODULE OPTIONS 🌸

Okay so here's the whole menu of knobs you can twiddle. Every single one, we're listing them all, because we don't gatekeep in this house. 💅

• file — the name of the FIFO special file you wanna use. Like, the actual pipe it's gonna write into. You pick it, you name it, you own it. 🫶
• sink_name — the name for the sink. Give your sink a little identity, a little main character energy. 👑
• sink_properties — sink properties. All the extra lil attributes that describe your sink, bundled up together.
• format — the sample format. This is how the samples are shaped, and honestly, pick wisely. 🌈
• rate — the sample rate. How fast we're going, number-wise. ⭐
• channels — number of channels. One, two, or however many you're feeling. 💜
• channel_map — the channel map. Which channel goes where, so nothing shows up in the wrong place. 🧚
• use_system_clock_for_timing — yes or no. That's it, that's the whole vibe: yes, or no. 🙈

fr fr, that's the complete list — no hidden extras, no secret bonus flags. You got the whole squad. 💖
