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.
