Process this file with
groff -man -Tascii libao.conf.5
where
key contains no whitespace and no equal signs.
value will be all of the text after the equal sign until (but not including)
the ending newline. Beware of extra spaces at the end of the line!
They will probably be interpreted as part of the option value.
The following is a list of valid global option keys. Any driver specific option
may be used as well as those keys.

NAME
libao.conf - configuration for libao.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/etc/libao.conf
~/.libao
DESCRIPTION
libao.conf and
.libao are configuration files for libao, the audio output library. They
specify various options to libao, as described below.
libao.conf sets system-wide options, whereas
~/.libao sets user-specific options. When an option is set in
both places, the option in
~/.libao takes precedence.
FILE FORMAT
The file consists of comments and key-value pairs. Comments are on separate lines that start with a
# symbol. The key-value pairs are of the form:
key=value
default_driver
The short name of the driver libao should use by default. Valid values
include (not all are available on every platform): oss, esd, arts, alsa,
nas, irix, sun, roar and sndio. Note that "sun" is used on many BSD
systems as well as Solaris.
Sets all the drivers as well as AO itself into debugging output mode.
Unlike passing the debug option to a driver, debug will also print
debugging information from driver loading and testing.
Sets all the drivers as well as AO itself into silent mode.
Errors will return only error codes; neither ao nor the drivers will
print any output whatsoever to stderr.
Sets all the drivers as well as AO itself into verbose mode.
EXAMPLE
Here is an example
libao.conf that forces the OSS driver to be used by default:
# This is a comment.
default_driver=oss
BUGS
libao.conf is missing a number of potentially useful options.
