Contents
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).
Description
muroarstream is a simple client for the RoarAudio sound system. It is based on muRoar (libmuroar). It
can only be used to send data to or get data from the server. No control functionality is supported.
