9.SH SYNOPSIS

11.B /etc/libao.conf

13.B ~/.libao
14
15.SH DESCRIPTION
16.B libao.conf
17and
18.B .libao
19are configuration files for libao, the audio output library.  They
20specify various options to libao, as described below.
21.B libao.conf
22sets system-wide options, whereas
23.B ~/.libao
24sets user-specific options.  When an option is set in
25both places, the option in
26.B ~/.libao
27takes precedence.

29.SH FILE FORMAT
30The file consists of comments and key-value pairs.  Comments are on separate lines that start with a
31.B #
32symbol.  The key-value pairs are of the form:
33.RS
34.BR
35.B key=value
36.RE
37where
38.B key
39contains no whitespace and no equal signs.
40.B value
41will be all of the text after the equal sign until (but not including)
42the ending newline.  Beware of extra spaces at the end of the line!
43They will probably be interpreted as part of the option value.
44
45Valid option keys are:
46.RS
47.IP default_driver
48The short name of the driver libao should use by default.  Valid values
49include (not all are available on every platform): oss, esd, arts, alsa,
50alsa09, nas, irix, and sun.  Note that "sun" is used on many BSD
51systems as well as Solaris.  The "alsa" driver is for the 0.5.x ALSA API,
52whereas the "alsa09" driver is for the 0.9.x API.
