.\" t .\" @(#)FvwmAudio.1 3/28/94 .TH FvwmAudio 1 "Mar 28 1994" .UC .SH NAME \fBFvwmAudio\fP \- the FVWM Audio module .SH SYNOPSIS \fBFvwmAudio\fP is spawned by \fBfvwm\fP, so no command line invocation will work. From within the \fI.fvwmrc\fP file, \fBFvwmAudio\fP is spawned as follows: .nf .sp Module FvwmAudio .sp .fi or from within an fvwm pop-up menu: .nf .sp Popup "Module-Popup" Title "Modules" Module "GoodStuff" GoodStuff Module "NoClutter" FvwmClean Module "FvwmIdentify" FvwmIdent Module "Banner" FvwmBanner Module "Debug" FvwmDebug Module "Audio" FvwmAudio Module "Pager" FvwmPager 0 3 EndPopup .sp .fi .SH DESCRIPTION The \fBFvwmAudio\fP module communicates with the Fvwm window manager to bind audio sounds to window manager actions. Different audio queues may be assigned to any window manager action. \fBFvwmAudio\fP can be used with any independent audio player, and therefore requires no special audio library APIs of its own. Simple in its design, it merely binds the audio filenames to particular actions and forks off the audio player program with the appropriate filename when that action occurs. \fBFvwmAudio\fP can also have builtin support for the rplay library. .SH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS \fBFvwmAudio\fP reads the same \fI.fvwmrc\fP file as \fBfvwm(1)\fP reads when it starts up, and looks for certain configuration options: .IP "*FvwmAudioPlayCmd \fI/usr/bin/X11/demos/auplay\fP" This determines the independent audio player program that will actually play the sounds. If the play command is set to \fIbuiltin-rplay\fP then the builtin rplay support will be used. For example: .sp *FvwmAudioPlayCmd \fIbuiltin-rplay\fP .IP "*FvwmAudioDir \fI/usr/lib/sounds\fP" Specifies the directory to look for the audio files. This option is ignored when rplay is used. .IP "*FvwmAudioDelay \fI5\fP" 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 useful if you don't want several sounds playing at the same time. The default delay is 0 which disables the audio delay. .IP "*FvwmAudioRplayHost \fIhostname\fP" Specifies what host the sounds will play on. The \fIhostname\fP can also be an environment variable such as $HOSTDISPLAY. This option is only valid with builtin rplay support. .IP "*FvwmAudioRplayPriority \fI0\fP" Specifies what priority will be assigned to the sounds when they are played. This option is only valid with builtin rplay support. .IP "*FvwmAudioRplayVolume \fI127\fP" Specifies what volume will be assigned to the sounds when they are played. This option is only valid with builtin rplay support. .IP "*FvwmAudio \fIwindow-manager_action audio_filename\fP" Binds particular window manager actions to sound queues. .nf .sp *FvwmAudio startup TaDa.au *FvwmAudio shutdown Elvis_Left.au *FvwmAudio unknown doh.au *FvwmAudio add_window drip.au *FvwmAudio raise_window swoosh.au *FvwmAudio lower_window swoosh.au *FvwmAudio focus_change boing.au *FvwmAudio destroy_window explosion.au *FvwmAudio iconify ploop.au *FvwmAudio deiconify ploop.au *FvwmAudio toggle_paging fwop.au *FvwmAudio new_page beam_trek.au *FvwmAudio new_desk beam_trek.au *FvwmAudio configure_window huh.au *FvwmAudio window_name beep.au *FvwmAudio icon_name beep.au *FvwmAudio res_class beep.au *FvwmAudio res_name beep.au *FvwmAudio end_windowlist twang.au .sp .fi .SH INVOCATION The invocation method was shown in the synopsis section. No command line invocation is possible. \fBFvwmAudio\fP must be invoked by the \fBfvwm\fP window manager. .sp .SH BUGS It's REALLY noisy when fvwm starts and restarts. .sp .SH COPYRIGHTS This module is heavily based on a similar Fvwm module called \fBFvwmSound\fP by Mark Boyns. \fBFvwmAudio\fP simply takes Mark's original program and extends it to make it generic enough to work with any audio player. The concept for interfacing this module to the Window Manager, is original work by Robert Nation. Copyright 1994, Mark Boyns and Mark Scott.
