RTUNES(1)                  OpenBSD Reference Manual                  RTUNES(1)

NAME
     rtunes - Stream audio data to an Apple AirPort Express device

SYNOPSIS
     rtunes [-46] [-f configfile] [-h host] file(s)

DESCRIPTION
     rtunes streams files containing Apple Lossless audio data to an Apple
     AirPort Express device.  If a '-' is given as the file(s) argument,
     rtunes expects raw PCM audio data (stereo, 44100 Hz) on stdin and encodes
     it to the Apple Lossless format prior to streaming it.  With this method
     it is possible to stream audio data from any source that can output raw
     PCM audio data on stdout, e.g.:

           madplay -S -R44100 -o raw:- benson.mp3 | rtunes -

     Here the audio player madplay is used to decode benson.mp3 to raw PCM au-
     dio data and pipe it to stdin of rtunes.

OPTIONS
     -4      Use only IPv4 transport (default is to use IPv6 and IPv4, depend-
             ing on the hostname).

     -6      Use only IPv6 transport.

     -f      Specify an alternative configuration file.

     -h      Specify the hostname of device to stream audio to.

FILES
     /etc/rtunes.conf    Default location of the configuration file.
