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.
