Installation

Linux

Should work out of the box, as long as you have ALSA and gcc.

OS X

Install Homebrew, then run brew install sox. Make sure gcc is installed too.

Windows

I haven't tried it in Windows yet - it might work if you install SoX, but I doubt that Windows will like all the crazy threading and piping stuff going on.

Warning

DO NOT run as superuser, and never use untrusted oneliners, as they can execute arbitrary code. Be safe.

Supported Commands

list              - list all currently loaded oneliners
add [name] [code] - add a new oneliner to the library
import [libfile]  - import all oneliners from a file (see builtins.lib for an example)

start [name]      - start the oneliner with the given name
start random      - start a random oneliner in the library
stop              - stop all currently running oneliners
stop [name]       - stop the currently running oneliner of the given name
stop random       - stop a random currently running oneliner
running           - list all currently running oneliners

sleep [secs]      - pause for the specified number of seconds

loop              - begin defining a loop that will run infinitely (break out of it with Ctrl-C)
