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_51CHN8 (8-bit 5.1 output)
16 # AL_FORMAT_61CHN8 (8-bit 6.1 output)
17 # AL_FORMAT_71CHN8 (8-bit 7.1 output)

22 # AL_FORMAT_61CHN16 (16-bit 6.1 output)
23 # AL_FORMAT_71CHN16 (16-bit 7.1 output)
24 # Default is AL_FORMAT_STEREO16

28 refresh = 0 # Sets the number of frames-per-update. Default is calculated as
29 # 8192*frequency/22050. Note that the actual granularity may or
30 # may not be less than this.
32 drivers = # Sets the backend driver list order, comma-seperated. Unknown
33 # backends and duplicated names are ignored, and unlisted backends
34 # won't be considered for use. An empty list means the default.
