NAME
musserv - music server for lxdoom and related games
SYNOPSIS
musserv [options] [MUSfile [FM-patch file]]
DESCRIPTION
- musserv is the music-playing server used by lxdoom for mu
- sic output.
- It is not likely of any use to the average end-user, ex
- cept for in conjunction with lxdoom.
OPTIONS
- -l Will list all synth devices reported by the OSS
- drivers (which should be the same as reported by /proc/sound or
- /dev/sndstat) and exit.
- -f Forces the use of FM-synth even if an AWE32 is de
- tected.
- -a Only use the AWE synth. Not necessary, should be
- autodetected.
- -m Use a generic (by default the last found) midi
- synth device
- -u specify a device number for the synth or midi de
- vice to use. Necessary if there is more that one device for a
- given synth type (fm, awe, or midi). This is usually required
- for midi devices. Look at the output of "musserv -l" for the
- number to use.
- -v Verbose. Musserver is usually silent. This turns
- on output.
- -h Gives terse usage information.
- -1 For FM-synth, do not use the secondary voice of
- double-voice channels. Instruments will sound poorer, but there
- should be less dropped notes. Musserv auto-tunes depending on
- your card, so this option shouldn't be necessary, unless you want
- to hear it just like in the old days ;-)
- -2 For FM-synth, force the use of the secondary voice,
- even on soundcards with limited voices. Can cause a great deal
- of note-droppage on these cards.
- -B Don't increase pitch by an octave when doing FM.
- Only for really old voxware drivers (950728).
- -D Causes all songs + the FM-patch info to be dumped
- to files.
