NAME
musserv - music server for lxdoom and related games
SYNOPSIS
musserv [options] [MUSfile [FM-patch file]]
DESCRIPTION
musserv is the music-playing server used by lxdoom for music output.
It is not likely of any use to the average end-user, except for in conjunction with lxdoom.
OPTIONS
- -l
-
Will list all synth devices reported by the OSS drivers (which should be the same as reported by /proc/sound or /dev/sndstat) and exit.
- -f
-
Forces the use of FM-synth even if an AWE32 is detected.
- -a
-
Only use the AWE synth. Not necessary, should be autodetected.
- -m
-
Use a generic (by default the last found) midi synth device
- -u
-
specify a device number for the synth or midi device to use. Necessary if there is more that one device for a given synth type (fm, awe, or midi). This is usually required for midi devices. Look at the output of "musserv -l" for the number to use.
- -v
-
Verbose. Musserver is usually silent. This turns on output.
- -h
-
Gives terse usage information.
- -1
-
For FM-synth, do not use the secondary voice of double-voice channels. Instruments will sound poorer, but there should be less dropped notes. Musserv auto-tunes depending on your card, so this option shouldn't be necessary, unless you want to hear it just like in the old days ;-)
- -2
-
For FM-synth, force the use of the secondary voice, even on soundcards with limited voices. Can cause a great deal of note-droppage on these cards.
- -B
-
Don't increase pitch by an octave when doing FM. Only for really old voxware drivers (950728).
- -D
-
Causes all songs + the FM-patch info to be dumped to files.
