+ Para_audiod supports three modes of operation: On, off and
+ standby (sb). This option selects the mode that should be
+ used on startup. If para_audiod operates in \"on\" mode, it
+ will connect to para_server in order to receive its status
+ information. If para_server announces the availability of an
+ audio stream, para_audiod will automatically download, decode
+ and play the audio stream according to the given stream I/O
+ options, see below.
+
+ In \"standby\" mode, para_audiod will only receive the
+ status information from para_server but will not download
+ the audio stream.
+
+ In \"off\" mode, para_audiod does not connect para_server at
+ all, but still listens on the local socket for connections.
