NAME

       roar_vs_stream, roar_vs_new_from_con - Create new VS objects

SYNOPSIS

       #include <roaraudio.h>

       roar_vs_t * roar_vs_new(const char * server, const char * name, int * error);

       roar_vs_t * roar_vs_new_from_con(struct roar_connection * con, int * error);

DESCRIPTION

       These  calls  are  used  to create new VS objects without a yet connected data connection.  They are only
       helpful if there you want to share a control connection between multiple streams  (generally  recommended
       if  using  multiple  streams to the same server) or need to use some extended parts of the VS API. If you
       look for a easy way to open a stream see roar_vs_new_simple(3) and roar_vs_new_from_file(3).

       roar_vs_new() opens a new control connection to server server.  name is used as application name.

       roar_vs_new_from_con() creates a new VS object from the extsing control connection con.

       VS objects created via roar_vs_new_from_con() will not close the control connection on roar_vs_close(3).

PARAMETERS

       server The server to connect to. NULL for defaults.

       name   The application name. This should be something the user can use to identify the  application.   It
              MUST NOT be the application's binary name or the value of argv[0].

       con    The already existing and open control connection to use.

       error  This  is  a pointer to a integer used to store the error value in case of error.  This can be NULL
              if not used but it is very recommended to use this error value to report good  error  messages  to
              the user.

RETURN VALUE

       On success these calls return a new VS object.  On error, NULL is returned.
