RoarAudio PlayList Daemon is a audio player backend daemon handling playlists. It stores playlists and plays files using RoarAudio as audio backend.

The daemon can be controlled using a simple protocol. It can listen on UNIX and TCP sockets.

File formats and codecs not supported by RoarAudio can be handled by using a helper program.

This helper script is used for roarplaylistd to play additional codecs (GStreamer version).
