\& icesound \- play audio files when interesting GUI events happen
.Ve
.SS "\s-1SYNOPSIS\s0"
.IX Subsection "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBicesound\fR [\fI\s-1OPTIONS\s0\fR]
.SS "\s-1DESCRIPTION\s0"
.IX Subsection "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBicewm\fR\|(1) window manager generates so-called \s-1GUI\s0 events in
response to interesting actions, like opening or closing of application
windows, switching of workspace, etc.  \s-1GUI\s0 events are a property of the
X root window.  \fBicewm\fR\|(1) updates this property whenever a new \s-1GUI\s0
event occurs.  Interested applications can listen for changes to this
property.  There are nearly twenty \s-1GUI\s0 events defined.
.PP
\&\fBicesound\fR responds to these \s-1GUI\s0 events by playing audio files.
These sound files are \fI.wav\fR files located in a \fIsounds\fR sub-directory
in one of the \fBicewm\fR\|(1) configuration directories.
.PP
\&\fBicesound\fR supports several common audio interfaces.  These are: \s-1ALSA,
OSS\s0 and libAO.  These must be enabled during configuration.
\&\s-1ALSA, OSS\s0 and libAO all require support for libsndfile, which is a
very common library to read audio files.
.IP "\fB\s-1ALSA\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "ALSA"
\&\fB\s-1ALSA\s0\fR is rather involved to program and it works, but this could use
more testing.  It plays at most one sound at a time.
.IP "\fBLibAO\fR" 4
.IX Item "LibAO"
\&\fBLibAO\fR is a cross-platform audio output library which is a convenient
wrapper around a significant number of common audio interfaces.  It has
a simple configuration file which is documented in the \fBlibao.conf\fR\|(5)
manual page.
.IP "\fB\s-1OSS\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "OSS"
The \fIOpen Sound System (\s-1OSS\s0)\fR is a cross-platform sound interface,
which is fully supported by \fBicesound\fR.
.PP
When multiple audio interfaces are available \fBicesound\fR will examine
them all until it finds one which it can connect to and then use that
one. By default it prefers them in the order of: \fB\s-1AO\s0\fR, \fB\s-1ALSA\s0\fR, \fB\s-1OSS\s0\fR.
