       volume = 0
              Initial volume correction in dB. Usually between -30 and +5.

REMOTE CONTROL

       pianobar can be controlled through a fifo. You have to create it yourself by executing

        mkfifo ~/.config/pianobar/ctl

       Adjust the path if you set up a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or changed the fifo setting.  Afterwards you  can  write
       commands directly into the fifo. Example (next song):

        echo -n 'n' > ~/.config/pianobar/ctl

       n  is the keybinding for "next song". If you customized your keybindings you have to use these characters
       to control pianobar.  This behaviour may change in the future!

       Another example:

        while true; do;
           nc -l -p 12345 -s localhost localhost > ~/.config/pianobar/ctl;
           sleep 1;
        done

        echo -ne 'n\x1a' | nc -q 0 127.0.0.1 12345

EVENTCMD

       pianobar can report certain "events" to an external application (see CONFIGURATION ). This application is
       started with the event name as it's first argument. More information like error code and description, was
       well as song information related to the current event, is supplied through stdin.

       Currently supported events are: artistbookmark, songban, songbookmark, songexplain, songfinish, songlove,
       songmove,   songshelf,  songstart,  stationaddgenre,  stationaddmusic,  stationaddshared,  stationcreate,
       stationdelete, stationdeleteartistseed, stationdeletefeedback,  stationdeletesongseed,  stationfetchinfo,
       stationfetchplaylist, stationfetchgenre stationquickmixtoggle, stationrename, userlogin, usergetstations

       An example script can be found in the contrib/ directory of pianobar's source distribution.
