-* DisOrder Raw Format Players
-
-** Purpose
-
-The purpose of raw format players is:
-
- * Support pausing of playing tracks, with the audio device closed when not
- in active use.
-
- * Eliminate the inter-track gap.
-
- * Perhaps in the future support network play.
-
-** Usage
-
-By default, built-in raw-format players are used for several encodings, so you
-do not need to do anything.
-
-** Low-Level Details
-
-Raw format players are started slightly differently to normal ones. Before
-they are executed a pipe is created and one end passed to a special speaker
-process, which is spawned by the main server at startup. The file descriptor
-of the player's end is identified by $DISORDER_RAW_FD.
-
-The expected data format is a ao_sample_format structure followed by the raw
-sample data. However, this may be changed without notice in future versions of
-DisOrder. If you need a stable interface here for some reason then get in
-touch.
-
-Raw format players may be started before the track is to be played, and (if the
-track is then removed from the queue before it reaches the head) terminated
-before the track ever reaches a physical speaker. The point of this is to
-allow audio data to be ready to play the moment the previous track end, without
-having to wait for the player to start up. There is no way for a player to
-tell that this is going on.
