.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ffado-dbus-server
exposes the mixer and control features of connected FFADO devices though a
DBUS interface.  The extent of support for controls on a given device
depends entirely on the status of that device's FFADO driver.
.PP
By using DBus it is possible for control applications to be developed
independently of FFADO.  The DBus interface provided by
.B ffado-dbus-server
is used by 
.B ffado-mixer
but there is no reason other implementations could not be written.
