NAME

       RoarAudio - RoarAudio sound system and package

SYNOPSIS

       roard [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

       RoarAudio  is  a  modern,  multi-OS,  network  transparent  sound  system.  It supports a large amount of
       features required for home and professional usage.  Its main purpose is to connect software  (like  media
       players)  and  devices  (like  soundcards)  as a mid-layer adding features you expect from a modern sound
       system like software mixing and full network transparency.

       RoarAudio can also be used to connect multiple software components. An example for  such  a  setup  is  a
       common  webradio setup where the used playback software is connected to a streaming server in addition to
       a local soundcard. RoarAudio has special features for such setups like meta data passing.
