Audio(1.0)

NAME
       Audio - the AfterStep Audio module

SYNOPSIS
       Audio  is spawned by afterstep, so no command line invoca-
       tion will work.  From within the autoexec  file  or  as  a
       menu option, Audio is spawned as follows:

       Module Audio

       or from within an afterstep pop-up menu by 'Audio' without 'Module':

       % cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Audio"
       Audio

DESCRIPTION
       The  Audio  module  communicates with the AfterStep window
       manager to bind audio sounds to  window  manager  actions.
       Different  audio queues may be assigned to any window man-
       ager action. Audio can be used with any independent  audio
       player,  and  therefore  requires no special audio library
       APIs of its own. Simple in its design, it merely binds the
       audio  filenames  to  particular actions and forks off the
       audio player program with the  appropriate  filename  when
       that action occurs.

       Audio can also have builtin support for the rplay library.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       Audio reads ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/audio file when it
       starts up, and looks for certain configuration options:

       *AudioPlayCmd /usr/bin/X11/demos/auplay
              This  determines  the independent audio player pro-
              gram that will actually play the  sounds.   If  the
              play  command  is  set  to  builtin-rplay  then the
              builtin rplay support will be used.  For example:
              *AudioPlayCmd builtin-rplay

       *AudioDir /usr/lib/sounds
              Specifies the  directory  to  look  for  the  audio
              files.   This option is ignored when rplay is used.

       *AudioDelay 5
              Specifies that sound events will only be played  if
              they  occur  at  least 5 seconds after the previous
              event.  Sounds events that occur during  the  delay
              period  are  ignored.  This option is useful if you
              don't want several sounds playing at the same time.
              The  default  delay  is  0 which disables the audio
              delay.

       *AudioRplayHost hostname
              Specifies what host the sounds will play  on.   The
              hostname  can  also be an environment variable such
              as $HOSTDISPLAY.  This option is  only  valid  with
              builtin rplay support.

       *AudioRplayPriority 0
              Specifies  what  priority  will  be assigned to the
              sounds when they are played.  This option  is  only
              valid with builtin rplay support.

       *AudioRplayVolume 127
              Specifies  what  volume  will  be  assigned  to the
              sounds when they are played.  This option  is  only
              valid with builtin rplay support.

       *Audio window-manager_action audio_filename
              Binds  particular  window  manager actions to sound
              queues.
              *Audio startup TaDa.au
              *Audio shutdown Elvis_Left.au
              *Audio unknown doh.au
              *Audio add_window drip.au
              *Audio raise_window swoosh.au
              *Audio lower_window swoosh.au
              *Audio focus_change boing.au
              *Audio destroy_window explosion.au
              *Audio iconify ploop.au
              *Audio deiconify ploop.au
              *Audio toggle_paging fwop.au
              *Audio new_page beam_trek.au
              *Audio new_desk beam_trek.au
