FAQ

The audio output does not work as expected. What can I do?
pianobar uses libao and most problems are related to a broken libao configuration. Have a look at issue #167 for example.
Can I donate money? Do you have a Flattr/Bitcoin/… account?
No, money is not necessary to continue working on pianobar. There are many other ways to support pianobar: Reporting bugs, creating cool stuff based on pianobar, blogging about it and the most important one: Keeping Pandora alive.
