format = AL_FORMAT_STEREO16 # Sets the output format. Can be one of:
13
# AL_FORMAT_MONO8 (8-bit mono)
14
# AL_FORMAT_STEREO8 (8-bit stereo)
15
# AL_FORMAT_QUAD8 (8-bit 4-channel)

cf_level = 0 # Sets the crossfeed level for stereo output. Valid values are:
30
# 2 - Middle crossfeed
31
# 3 - High crossfeed (virtual speakers are closer to itself)
32
# 4 - Low easy crossfeed
33
# 5 - Middle easy crossfeed
34
# 6 - High easy crossfeed
35
# Default is 0. Users of headphones may want to try various
36
# settings. Has no effect on non-stereo modes.
38
frequency = 44100 # Sets the output frequency. Default is 44100
40
refresh = 8192 # Sets the buffer size, in frames. Default is 8192. Note that
41
# the actual granularity may or may not be less than this.
43
sources = 256 # Sets the maximum number of allocatable sources. Lower values
44
# may help for systems with apps that try to play more sounds
45
# than the CPU can handle. Default is 256
47
stereodup = # Sets whether to duplicate stereo sounds on the rear speakers for
48
# 4+ channel output. This can make stereo sources substantially
49
# louder than mono or even 4+ channel sources, but provides a
50
# "fuller" playback quality. True, yes, on, and non-0 values will
51
# duplicate stereo sources. 0 and anything else will cause stereo
52
# sounds to only play out the front speakers.
55
drivers = # Sets the backend driver list order, comma-seperated. Unknown
56
# backends and duplicated names are ignored, and unlisted backends
57
# won't be considered for use. An empty list means the default.
59
# alsa,oss,dsound,winmm,wave
61
[alsa] # ALSA backend stuff
62
device = default # Sets the device name for the default playback device.
65
periods = 0 # Sets the number of update buffers for playback. A value of 0
66
# means auto-select. Default is 0
68
capture = default # Sets the device name for the default capture device.
71
mmap = true # Sets whether to try using mmap mode (helps reduce latencies and
72
# CPU consumption). If mmap isn't available, it will automatically
73
# fall back to non-mmap mode. True, yes, on, and non-0 values will
74
# attempt to use mmap. 0 and anything else will force mmap off.
77
[oss] # OSS backend stuff
78
device = /dev/dsp # Sets the device name for OSS output. Default is /dev/dsp
80
periods = 4 # Sets the number of update buffers. Default is 4
82
capture = /dev/dsp # Sets the device name for OSS capture. Default is /dev/dsp
84
[dsound] # DirectSound backend stuff
87
[winmm] # Windows Multimedia backend stuff
90
[wave] # Wave File Writer stuff
91
file = # Sets the filename of the wave file to write to. An empty name
92
# prevents the backend from opening, even when explicitly requested.
93
# THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING FILES WITHOUT QUESTION!
