🛠️ MODULE OPTIONS 🛠️

here's the whole menu, no gatekeeping, every single one, mwah 💅

• server — the address. like, where even is the server, bestie? tell the module.
• sink — the name of the remote sink. yes, the one that's over there.
• sink_name — the name you're giving to the local sink (so it can be a little main character on your machine 🫶).
• sink_properties — the properties for the local sink. all the little vibes and metadata it carries with it.
• reconnect_interval_ms — how often it tries to reconnect, in ms. set it to 0, or just don't include it at all, if you want reconnecting fully disabled (napping forever, respectfully 😴).
• format — the sample format.
• channels — how many channels. the whole count.
• rate — the sample rate.
• channel_map — the channel map. (mapping out who goes where, very organized of it 🌸)
• latency_msec — a fixed latency, in ms. locked in. no cap.
• cookie — the path to the cookie file. 🍪 yes really, a cookie.
