Sets the codec to use. The default depends on used subsystem. For Waveform it uses Signed native PCM, for Light DMX512 and for MIDI MIDI. The following symbolic names can be used: default, pcm, pcm_s, pcm_u, ogg_vorbis, vorbis, alaw, mulaw, ulaw, dmx512, roardmx, midi.

AUTO DETECTION

The server will be auto located if no server name is given. First it will look for the environment variable $ROAR_SERVER. If this variable is non existing libmuroar will do the auto location based on a list of possible server locations. This list contains the user's private socket address, the global UNIX socket address, an entry for localhost using TCP/IP, the local default DECnet object address as well as an entry for the abstract UNIX namespace (+abstract).
