NAME

muroard - minimalist sound server for the RoarAudio protocol

SYNOPSIS

muroard [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

muRoarD is a sound server supporting the RoarAudio protocol. It is designed to mix the audio data of multiple applications together to send it as a single stream to the soundcard.

muRoarD is a minimalist version of such a sound server. It does only implement the very minimum part the the protocol but is very much smaller than the original roard.

MISC OPTIONS

Print version information of the daemon and exit.

Bring the server into background after init.

On win32 this hides the console window. This only works if used within a Shortcut.
