.It Fl v Ar volume
Software volume attenuation of the playback stream.
The value must be between 1 and 127,
corresponding to \-42dB and \-0dB attenuation.
corresponding to \-42dB and \-0dB attenuation in 1\/3dB steps.
In server mode, clients inherit this parameter.
Reducing the volume in advance reduces a client's dynamic range,
but allows client volume to stay independent from the number
of clients as long as their number is small enough.
A good compromise is to use \-4dB attenuation (12 volume units)
for each additional client expected
(115 if 2 clients are expected, 103 for 3 clients, and so on).
Reducing the volume in advance allows client volume to stay independent
from the number of clients as long as their number is small enough.
18 volume units (i.e., \-6dB attenuation) allows the number
of playback streams to be doubled.
The default is 127 i.e., no attenuation.
