The time in seconds after the last change before soundcard settings are written to disk, (a value of -1 prevents the settings from ever being written).
The maximum size, in kilobytes, for the DMA buffer.
On cards that have only a single channel in hardware, do not use software techniques to increase the maximum number of playing channels.
See the list of shared objects (below) for details about local options for specific drivers. |
The io-audio manager provides support for dynamically loaded audio-driver modules. This utility enables you to load the audio drivers specified by the -d options when you start io-audio.
|
Once io-audio has started, you can dynamically load and unload drivers using the mount and umount commands. E.g. this command:
io-audio -dvortex -daudiopci &
gives the same result as this sequence:
io-audio & mount -T io-audio vortex mount -T io-audio audiopci
When searching for shared objects, the io-audio manager uses the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. |
To unload a module, use a command like this:
umount /dev/snd/controlC0
Provide support for Aureal Vortex sound card:
io-audio -vv -d vortex &
The io-audio command can load the following shared objects:
