using multiple config files (as different profiles)

[madhwaraj-github]

I think this is possible, but couldn't find the info.

I want to use different output plugins for different profiles (configs), when instantiating audacious. I use Ubuntu 24.04.04 LTS

Yes, this is possible, see audacious --help.

You can use audacious -2 to launch a separate Audacious instance with a separate, independent configuration directory (e.g. ~/.config/audacious-2 instead of ~/.config/audacious).

Thanks. Yes, this works to switch output ALSA devices. I did see the option (-1, -2) in the help output, but wasn't sure how to set up different configs.
