<h1>ecasoundrc</h1>
<h2>17.01.2003</h2>
<p><h2>NAME</h2>
ecasoundrc - ecasound rcfile
<p><h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
{prefix}/share/ecasound/ecasoundrc (for instance '/usr/local/share/ecasound/ecasoundrc')
$HOME/.ecasound/ecasoundrc
<p><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p><strong>ecasoundrc</strong> is the main configuration file for ecasound.
Any user-specific modification should be done to
$HOME/.ecasound/ecasoundrc, not to the global resource file.
<p>The format is quite simple. One line consists of
a configuration variable and its value. Variable and value
are separated with either '=' or ' '. Lines beginning with a
"#" are ignored (comment lines).
<p><h2>VARIABLES</h2>
<p><dl>
<p><p></p><dt><strong>midi-device</strong><dd>
MIDI-device. If the device name is given in <em>rawmidi,/dev/midi*</em>
format, OSS/Linux or OSS/Lite drivers are used.
Device <em>rawmidi,/dev/snd/midiCxDy</em> opens an ALSA raw-MIDI
device with card number 'x' and device number 'y'.
See ecasound(5) man page (the '-Md option) for more info.
Defaults to <em>rawmidi,/dev/midi</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>default-output</strong><dd>
Output device to use. Defaults to <em>/dev/dsp</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>default-audio-format</strong><dd>
Default values for sample format, channel count, sampling rate
and channel interleaving. Syntax is the same as used by
ecasound's <em>-f</em> option (see ecasound(1)).
Defaults to <em>s16_le,2,44100,i</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>default-to-precise-sample-rates</strong><dd>
Whether to ignore sample rate differences (and possibly avoid
resampling). Currently only affects OSS-devices. Defaults to <em>false</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>bmode-defaults-nonrt</strong><dd>
Selects the default parameters to use with buffering
mode 'nonrt' (other modes are 'rt' and 'rtlowlatency).
Parameters are given as a comma-separated tuple of values:
1) buffersize (number,-b), 2) raised priority (true/false,-r),
3) sched_priority (number,-r:X), 4) double buffering
(true/false,-z:db), 5) db-bufsize (number,-z:db,X), and
6) max intbuf (true/false,-z:intbuf). Defaults to
<em>1024,false,50,false,100000,true</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>bmode-defaults-rt</strong><dd>
See 'bmode-defaults-nonrt'. Defaults to
<em>1024,true,50,true,100000,true</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>bmode-defaults-rtlowlatency</strong><dd>
See 'bmode-defaults-nonrt'. Defaults to
<em>256,true,50,true,100000,false</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>resource-directory</strong><dd>
Directory for global ecasound configuration files.
Defaults to <em>{prefix-dir}/share/ecasound</em>.
Note! User-specific resource files can be be stored
to '$(HOME)/.ecasound/'. For instance you can
add your own presets definitions to
'$(HOME)/.ecasound/effect_presets'.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>resource-file-genosc-envelopes</strong><dd>
Configuration file for generic oscillators. Is located in the
resource directory. Defaults to <em>generic_oscillators</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>resource-file-effect-presets</strong><dd>
Configuration file for effect presets. Is located in the
resource directory. Defaults to <em>effect_presets</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>ladspa-plugin-directory</strong><dd>
Directory containing LADSPA effect plugins. Defaults to <em>{prefix-dir}/lib/ladspa</em>.
If environment variable <em>LADSPA_PATH</em> exists, directories
specified in it are automatically searched for plugins.
Note! To match the syntax of the <em>LADSPA_PATH</em> environment
variable, 'ladspa-plugin-directory' can contain multiple
directories, separated by ':' characters.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>ext-cmd-text-editor</strong><dd>
If <em>ext-cmd-text-editor-use-getenv</em> is <em>false</em> or "EDITOR"
is null, value of this field is used. Defaults to <em>pico</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>ext-cmd-text-editor-use-getenv</strong><dd>
Should ecasound try to query environment variable "EDITOR".
Defaults to <em>true</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>ext-cmd-wave-editor</strong><dd>
Command line for executing an external wave editor. Defaults
to <em>snd</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>ext-cmd-mp3-input</strong><dd>
Command for starting mp3 input. All output should be directed
to standard output. Before execution, "%f" is replaced with
path to the input mp3. If exists, "%o" is replaced with
the start offset in mp3 frames. Defaults to <em>mpg123 --stereo -r -b 0 -q -s -k %o %f</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>ext-cmd-mp3-output</strong><dd>
Command for starting mp3 output. All input data should be read
from standard input. Before execution, "%f" is replaced with
path to the output mp3, %S with sample rate in kHz, and
%B with encoding bitrate in kbps. Defaults to <em>lame -b %B -s %S -x -S - %f</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>ext-cmd-ogg-input</strong><dd>
Command for starting ogg input. All output should be directed
to standard output. Before execution, "%f" is replaced with
path to the input ogg. Defaults to <em>ogg123 -d raw --file=- %f</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>ext-cmd-ogg-output</strong><dd>
Command for starting ogg output. All input data should be read
from standard input. Before execution, "%f" is replaced with
path to the output ogg, %c, %s and %b with equivalent
format parameters, and %B with encoding bitrate in kbps.
Defaults to <em>oggenc -b %B --raw --raw-bits=%b --raw-chan=%c --raw-rate=%s --output=%f -</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>ext-cmd-mikmod</strong><dd>
Command for starting mikmod input. Before execution, "%f" is replaced with
file path, and %s with select sample rate. Defaults to
<em>mikmod -d stdout -o 16s -q -f %s -p 0 --noloops %f</em>.
<p><p></p><dt><strong>ext-cmd-timidity</strong><dd>
Command for starting timidity++ input. Before execution, "%f"
is replaced with file path. Defaults to
<em>timidity -Or -o - %f</em>.
