NAME

MuSE - stream your audio over the internet

SYNOPSIS

muse [ generic options ] [-e [ encoder options ] [ stream options ] ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

MuSE is an application for mixing, encoding, and network streaming of sound. MuSE can simultaniously mix up to 6 encoded audio bitstreams (from files or network) plus a souncard input signal. The resulting stream can be played locally on the sound card and/or encoded as an mp3 bitstream sent to a broadcast server. MuSE offers two intuitive interfaces (graphical and console) to be operated realtime and can also run in commandline mode.

MuSE is being developed in the hope to provide the Free Software community with a user friendly tool for network audio streaming, making life easier for independent free speech radios.

COMMAND LINE USAGE

Command line options in MuSE are position sensitive: all the encoder options affect the last encoder specified, all the servers are relative to the last encoding specified, all the server options affect the last server specified. In that way you can specify as much encoded streams you want and as much servers you need for each of them.

In fact MuSE can stream at multiple bitrates and to multiple servers.

GENERIC OPTIONS

-h --help: show help
-v --version: show version information
-D --debug [ num ]: set debug verbosity level to num between 1 and 3, useful to figure out where is the problem and to file good bug reports, default is 1
-i: mix soundcard live input
-o --dspout: disable souncard output
-C --cli: command line input. cli GUI is selected (same as -g cli)
-g --gui name: specify GUI name to use. Use list to get a list of available GUIs
files: add files to MuSE playlist

ENCODER OPTIONS

-e --encoder enc: select enc codec to use. Possible choices are ogg and mp3. default ogg
Options below affect the last enc specified.
-b --bitrate rate: set codec bitrate in Kbit/s. default 24
-r --frequency freq: set encoding frequency to freq. Possible choices are 0, 11000, 16000, 22050 or 44100. 0 means auto. default auto
-q --quality qual: set encoding quality to qual between 0.1 and 9.0 . default 1.0
-c --channels num: set number of audio channels to use. default 1
-f --filedump file: dump audio stream to file

STREAM OPTIONS

--server server[:port]: send stream to server on port port.
default port is 8000
Options below affect the last server specified.
-m --mount mountpoint: use mounpoint mountpoint on server. default live
-p --pass password: use encoder password password on server
-n --name name: set name of the stream to name
-u --url url: set descriptive url of the stream to url
-d --desc desc: set description of the stream to desc
