NAME
AUVoxConfig - Configuration file for NAS servers running with the VOXware device drivers.
DESCRIPTION
AUVoxConfig Is a file that can be used to configure the behaiviour of the auvoxware server, including what devices it will attempt to use, the minimum & maximum frequencies used, if the device should be used in 8bit or 16bit mode, what fragment size and number of fragments should be used (useful for tuning the server's latency) and if the server should be verbose when starting or output debugging information.
THE CONFIG FILE SYNTAX
There are upto three section in the config file. The first may have up to two keywords in it, which just turn on verbose messages when parsing the config file, and setting debug messages on. The remaining two sections will, if present, adjust various parameters of the input and output devices.
verbose Sets a flag telling the server to report what it's trying to do with each setting in the config file.
debug Sets the debug flag, which will provide a trace of the server's activities on stderr.
inputsection Marks the beginning of the input section, which allows various parameters of the input device to be set up.
end Marks the end of the input section or output section.
device devname Specifies what device is used. An example is device "/dev/dsp".
maxrate number the maximum number of samples per second that we'll drive the card at.
minrate number the minimum number of samples per second that the card will be driven at.
maxfrags number The maximum number of of kernel buffers that will be used for the device. the number is dynamically adjusted as the sampling frequency varies.
minfrags number The minimum number of kernel buffers that will be used.
fragsize number The size of each buffer - note that the size must be a power of 2.
wordsize number The number of bits per sample. Allowable values are 8 and 16.
numchans number Used toi decide if the card is run in stereo or mono mode. Allowable values are 1 or 2.
