NAME

       Audio - the AfterStep Audio module


SYNOPSIS

       Audio is spawned by afterstep, so no command line invocation will work.
       From within the .steprc file, Audio is spawned as follows:

       Module Audio

       or from within an afterstep pop-up menu:

       Popup "Module-Popup"
	    Title     "Modules"
	    Module    "Wharf"	     Wharf
	    Module    "FvwmIdentify" FvwmIdent
	    Module    "Audio"	     Audio
	    Module    "Pager"	     Pager 0 3
       EndPopup


DESCRIPTION

       The Audio module communicates with the AfterStep window manager to bind
       audio  sounds  to window manager actions. Different audio queues may be
       assigned to any window manager action. Audio can be used with any inde-
       pendent	audio  player, and therefore requires no special audio library
       APIs of its own. Simple in its design, it merely binds the audio  file-
       names to particular actions and forks off the audio player program with
       the appropriate filename when that action occurs.

       Audio can also have builtin support for the rplay library.



CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       Audio reads the same .steprc file as afterstep(1) reads when it	starts
       up, and looks for certain configuration options:


       *AudioPlayCmd /usr/bin/X11/demos/auplay
	      This  determines	the independent audio player program that will
	      actually play the  sounds.   If  the  play  command  is  set  to
	      builtin-rplay  then the builtin rplay support will be used.  For
	      example:

	      *AudioPlayCmd builtin-rplay


       *AudioDir /usr/lib/sounds
	      Specifies the directory to  look	for  the  audio  files.   This
	      option is ignored when rplay is used.


       *AudioDelay 5
	      Specifies that sound events will only be played if they occur at
	      least 5 seconds after the previous event.   Sounds  events  that
	      occur  during the delay period are ignored.  This option is use-
	      ful if you don't want several sounds playing at the  same  time.
	      The default delay is 0 which disables the audio delay.


       *AudioRplayHost hostname
	      Specifies  what  host the sounds will play on.  The hostname can
	      also be an environment  variable	such  as  $HOSTDISPLAY.   This
	      option is only valid with builtin rplay support.


       *AudioRplayPriority 0
	      Specifies what priority will be assigned to the sounds when they
	      are played.  This option is only valid with builtin  rplay  sup-
	      port.


       *AudioRplayVolume 127
	      Specifies  what  volume will be assigned to the sounds when they
	      are played.  This option is only valid with builtin  rplay  sup-
	      port.


       *Audio window-manager_action audio_filename
	      Binds particular window manager actions to sound queues.

	      *Audio startup TaDa.au
	      *Audio shutdown Elvis_Left.au
	      *Audio unknown doh.au
	      *Audio add_window drip.au
	      *Audio raise_window swoosh.au
	      *Audio lower_window swoosh.au
	      *Audio focus_change boing.au
	      *Audio destroy_window explosion.au
	      *Audio iconify ploop.au
	      *Audio deiconify ploop.au
	      *Audio toggle_paging fwop.au
	      *Audio new_page beam_trek.au
	      *Audio new_desk beam_trek.au
	      *Audio configure_window huh.au
	      *Audio window_name beep.au
	      *Audio icon_name beep.au
	      *Audio res_class beep.au
	      *Audio res_name beep.au
	      *Audio end_windowlist twang.au



INVOCATION

       The  invocation	method	was  shown in the synopsis section. No command
       line invocation is possible. Audio must be  invoked  by	the  afterstep
       window manager.
