• Linux needs ALSA (alsa-lib / libasound2); PipeWire and PulseAudio are reached through it.
• macOS: the binary is not notarized. If Gatekeeper holds it back:
  xattr -d com.apple.quarantine torrocast
• Windows: run it in Windows Terminal.

Media keys work on Linux (MPRIS) for now. The interface speaks German or English, following the
system's language.
