SYNOPSIS

muroard [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

muRoarD is a sound server supporting the RoarAudio protocol. It is designed to mix the audio data of multiple applications together to send it as a single stream to the soundcard.

muRoarD is a minimalist version of such a sound server. It does only implement the very minimum part the the protocol but is very much smaller than the original roard.

MISC OPTIONS

-h --help

On win32 this hides the console window. This only works if used within a Shortcut.
