libao Configuration Files

When libao is initialized, it reads two configuration files: the system-wide configuration in "/etc/libao.conf" and the user configuration in "~/.libao". Neither file needs to be present on the system for libao to load. If both are present, the system configuration file is read first, followed by the user configuration file. Options set in the user configuration will take precedence.

Options are specified in these files in the form:

option=value

Options

default_driver

Set this equal to the short name of the driver you want the system to use by default. If this is not specified in any of the configuration files, the library will try to guess an appropriate driver to use.
