NAME

       libroar - RoarAudio sound library

       roarvs - RoarAudio very simple API

SYNOPSIS

        #include <roaraudio.h>

        roar_vs_t * vss;

DESCRIPTION

       The  VS  (for  Very  Simple)  API  is  a high level abstraction layer used to allow use of
       RoarAudio from very simple programs. The API was designed to help people to easly  upgrade
       existing artsc and pulse-simple code to RoarAudio. While the API is equivalently simple it
       is much more powerful than one one by aRtsc or PulseAudio.

       The VS API also has a mode to play back (and record) files easly. As this uses VIO/DSTR it
       can handle streams as well.
