% dtas-env(7) dtas user manual =head1 NAME dtas-env - environment variables used through DTAS =head1 DESCRIPTION As dtas uses Bourne shell and exposes it to users, dtas should have a cohesive set of common environment variables across its audio production and playback environments. This attempts to document them. Most of these environments are set and managed by dtas itself, but users editing commands (e.g. via L should be aware of them. =head1 ENVIRONMENT =over =item ECAFMT A snippet of command-line switches for ecasound describing audio format parameters (such as word length, channels, sample rate), see L for more info. (e.g. "-fs32_le,2,44100") =item INFILE The primary input file for playback or processing. (e.g. "/path/to/ex.flac") =item RGFX The sox effect used for applying ReplayGain compensation. Only used during playback in dtas-player. (e.g. "gain -6.0"). Removing this prevents ReplayGain from working and may damage playback equipment with loudly mastered music. =item SOXFMT A snippet of command-line switches for sox describing audio format parameters (such as word length, channels, sample rate), see L for more info. (e.g. "-ts32 -c2 -r44100") =item TRIMFX The sox effect used for seeking during playback with dtas-player and track offsets for dtas-splitfx. (e.g. "trim 36000s") Additionally, L documents more environment variables which are not used elsewhere. =back =head1 ENVIRONMENT FOR OTHER EXECUTABLES By virtue of running other programs, dtas indirectly uses many commonly-accepted environment variables such as EDITOR / VISUAL for selecting a text editor, and SOX_OPTS, AUDIODEV, AUDIODRIVER for L and L commands and LADSPA_PATH for anything using LADSPA plugins (including sox). The TMPDIR environment variable controls where temporary files are placed for most programs. =head1 CONTACT All feedback welcome via plain-text mail to: L Mailing list archives available at L and L No subscription is necessary to post to the mailing list. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2013-2016 all contributors L License: GPL-3.0+ L
