1 # OpenAL config file. Options that are not under a block or are under the
2 # [general] block are for general, non-backend-specific options. Blocks may
3 # appear multiple times, and duplicated options will take the last value
4 # specified. The system-wide settings can be put in /etc/openal/config and
5 # user-specific override settings in ~/.openalrc
7 # Option and block names are case-insenstive. The supplied values are only
8 # hints and may not be honored (though generally it'll try to get as close as
9 # possible). These are the current available settings:
11 format = AL_FORMAT_STEREO16 # Sets the output format. Can be one of:
12 # AL_FORMAT_MONO8 (8-bit mono)
13 # AL_FORMAT_STEREO8 (8-bit stereo)
14 # AL_FORMAT_QUAD8 (8-bit 4-channel)
15 # AL_FORMAT_MONO16 (16-bit mono)
16 # AL_FORMAT_STEREO16 (16-bit stereo)
17 # AL_FORMAT_QUAD16 (16-bit 4-channel)
18 # Default is AL_FORMAT_STEREO16
20 frequency = 44100 # Sets the output frequency. Default is 44100
22 refresh = 0 # Sets the number of frames-per-update. Default is calculated as
23 # 8192*frequency/22050. Note that the actual granularity may or
24 # may not be less than this.
26 drivers = # Sets the backend driver list order, comma-seperated. Unknown
27 # backends and duplicated names are ignored, and unlisted backends
28 # won't be considered for use. An empty list means the default.
30 # alsa,oss,dsound,winmm
32 [alsa] # ALSA backend stuff
33 device = default # Sets the device name for the default playback device.
36 periods = 4 # Sets the number of update buffers. Default is 4
38 capture = default # Sets the device name for the default capture device.
41 [oss] # OSS backend stuff
42 device = /dev/dsp # Sets the device name for OSS output. Default is /dev/dsp
44 periods = 4 # Sets the number of update buffers. Default is 4
46 [dsound] # DirectSound backend stuff
49 [winmm] # Windows Multimedia backend stuff
