.TH disorder_config 5
.SH NAME
.SH DESCRIPTION
The purpose of DisOrder is to organize and play digital audio files, under the
control of multiple users.
-\fIpkgconfdir/config\fR is the primary configuration file but this
-man page currently documents all of its various configuration files.
+\fIpkgconfdir/config\fR is the primary configuration file; the web interface
+uses a number of others (see \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8)).
.SS Tracks
DisOrder can be configured with multiple collections of tracks, indexing them
by their filename, and picking players on the basis of filename patterns (for
Each track can have a set of preferences associated with it.
These are simple key-value pairs; they can be used for anything you
like, but a number of keys have specific meanings.
-See \fBdisorder\fR(1) for more details about these.
+See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) for more details about these.
.SS "Track Names"
Track names are derived from filenames under the control of regular
expressions, rather than attempting to interpret format-specific embedded name
.SS "Server State"
A collection of global preferences define various bits of server state: whether
random play is enabled, what tags to check for when picking at random, etc.
+See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) for more information.
.SS "Users And Access Control"
DisOrder distinguishes between multiple users.
This is for access control and reporting, not to provide different
The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each
kind of page, and a collection of option files.
These are split up and separate from the main configuration file to
-make it more convenient to override specific bits.
-.PP
-The web interface connects to the DisOrder server like any other user, though
-it is given a special privilege to "become" any other user.
-(Thus, any process with the same UID as the web interface is very
-powerful as far as DisOrder goes.
-This model will be changed in a future version.)
-.PP
-Access control to the web interface is (currently) separate from DisOrder's own
-access control (HTTP authentication is required) but uses the same user
-namespace.
.PP
See \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8) for more information.
.SS "Searching And Tags"
.B speaker_command
is specified, or if no native is available.
.TP
-.B network
+.B rtp
Transmit audio over the network.
This is the default if \fBbroadcast\fR is specified.
You can use
.BR disorder-playrtp (1)

.TP
.B authorization_algorithm \fIALGORITHM\fR
.TP
.B broadcast \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR

.TP
.IP
For \fBapi alsa\fR this is the device name to use.
.IP
-For \fBapi coreaudio\fR this is currently ignored.
+For \fBapi coreaudio\fR this can be either the UID or the human-readable
+name of the desired device.
+For a list of names, visit System Preferences -> Sound and look at the Type column.
+For example, you might use "Built-in Output" for the built-in speaker
+or "Built-in Line Output" if you have connected external speakers.
+Remember to quote the name.
.IP
The default is \fBdefault\fR, which is intended to map to whatever the system's
default is.
.B multicast_loop yes\fR|\fBno
Determines whether multicast packets are loop backed to the sending host.
The default is \fByes\fR.
-This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBnetwork\fR and \fBbroadcast\fR

is actually a multicast address.
.TP
.B multicast_ttl \fIHOPS\fR
Set the maximum number of hops to send multicast packets.
-This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBnetwork\fR and
+This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBrtp\fR and
\fBbroadcast\fR is actually a multicast address.
The default is 1.

.TP
+.B new_bias \fIWEIGHT\fR

+The maximum age of tracks that \fBnew_bias\fR applies to, in seconds.
+The default is one week.

See the documentation for your installed copy of \fBsox\fR to determine
which you need.
-The default is 0.
+The default is set according to the version of sox found when DisOrder was
+built.
+If you run on a system with a different version of sox, you will need to
+set this option.
.TP
.B speaker_backend \fINAME
This is an alias for \fBapi\fR; see above.
Specifies the user to run as.
Only makes sense if invoked as root (or the target user).

-.IP
-If \fBtemplates\fR is used without arguments then the template path is cleared.
