7 and are discussed in detail there.
19 "activate color output"
21 values = "yes","no","auto"
27 "select a color for one type of log message"
28 string typestr="color_spec"
32 Example: --log_color \"INFO:yellow black bold\"
35 option "config_file" c
36 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
37 "(default='~/.paraslash/audiod.conf'"

44 string typestr="filename"

66 section "Audiod options"
67 ########################
74 If this flag is not given, para_audiod refuses to start if the
75 well-known socket file (see the --socket option) already exists
76 because this usually means that para_audiod is already running
77 and listening on that socket. After a crash or if para_audiod
78 received a SIGKILL signal, a stale socket file might remain and
79 you have to use --force once to force startup of para_audiod.
89 Para_audiod supports three modes of operation: On, off and
90 standby (sb). This option selects the mode that should be
91 used on startup. If para_audiod operates in \"on\" mode, it
92 will connect to para_server in order to receive its status
93 information. If para_server announces the availability of an
94 audio stream, para_audiod will automatically download, decode
95 and play the audio stream according to the given stream I/O
98 In \"standby\" mode, para_audiod will only receive the
99 status information from para_server but will not download
102 In \"off\" mode, para_audiod does not connect para_server at
103 all, but still listens on the local socket for connections.
109 string typestr="filename"
112 Para_audiod uses a \"well-known\" socket to listen
113 on for connections from para_audioc. This socket is a
114 special file in the file system; its location defaults to
115 /var/paraslash/audiod_sock.<host_name>.
117 para_audioc, the client program used to connect to para_audiod,
118 opens this socket in order to talk to para_audiod. If the
119 default value for para_audiod is changed, para_audioc must be
120 instructed to use also \"filename\" for connecting para_audiod.
123 option "user_allow" -
124 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
131 Allow the user identified by \"uid\" to connect to para_audiod.
132 May be specified multiple times. If not specified at all,
133 all users are allowed to connect.
135 This feature requires unix socket credentials and is currently
136 only supported on Linux systems. On other operating systems,
137 the option is silently ignored and all local users are allowed
138 to connect to para_audiod.
141 option "clock_diff_count" -
142 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
143 "sync clock on startup"
148 Check the clock difference between the host running para_server
149 and the local host running para_audiod that many times before
150 starting any stream I/0. Set this to non-zero for non-local
151 setups if the clocks of these two hosts are not syncronized

156 section "Stream I/O options"
157 #############################
162 string typestr="receiver_spec"
167 This option may be given multiple times, once for each
168 supported audio format. The \"receiver_spec\" consists of
169 an audio format and the receiver name, separated by a colon,
170 and any options for that receiver, seperated by whitespace.
171 If any receiver options are present, the whole receiver
172 argument must be quoted.
176 -r 'mp3:http -i my.host.org -p 8009'
180 option "no_default_filters" D
181 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
182 "Configure filters manually"
185 If (and only if) this option is set, the --filter options
186 (see below) take effect. Otherwise, the compiled-in default
187 filters mp3dec, oggdec and aacdec are activated for mp3, ogg,
188 aac streams respectively.
193 "Use non-default filters"
194 string typestr="filter_spec"
197 dependon="no_default_filters"
199 This option may be given multiple times. The \"filter_spec\"
200 consists of an audio format, the name of the filter, and any
201 options for that filter. Mote that order matters.
205 --filter 'mp3:mp3dec'
207 --filter 'mp3:compress --inertia 5 --damp 2'
213 "Specify stream writer."
214 string typestr="writer_spec"
218 May be given multiple times, even multiple times for the same
219 audio format. Default value is \"alsa\" for all supported
220 audio formats. Example:
226 option "stream_delay" -
227 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
228 "time for client sync"
229 int typestr="milliseconds"
233 Add the given amount of milliseconds to the stream start time
234 announced by para_server and do not send data to the writer
235 before that time (modulo clock difference).
237 This is useful mainly for syncronizing the audio output of
