NAME

ecasoundrc - ecasound rcfile

SYNOPSIS

$HOME/.ecasoundrc

DESCRIPTION

ecasoundrc is the main configuration file for ecasound. If it doesn't exists, ecasound creates it with default values. If it exists, all the values are read. When quitting ecasound, ecasoundrc is always rewritten using previously loaded/changed values.

The format is quite simple. One line consists of a configuration variable and a value. Variable and value are separated with whitespace.
