\page sound \QF Sound System
The \QF sound system is designed to work with many sound systems. The
sound systems \QF supports are:
<dl>
	<dt>Linux</dt>				<dd>ALSA, OSS, SDL</dd>
	<dt>Other UNIX-like</dt>	<dd>OSS, SDL</dd>
	<dt>Windows</dt>			<dd>DirectX, Win32, SDL</dd>
</dl>
There are others (SUN, SGI, MME), but their status is unkown. SUN sound
support will build (on OpenBSD), but whether it works is unknown.

In the above list, the first sound system listed for each OS is the
default. To use one of the other supported drivers, set the \c snd_output
cvar to the appropriate name as shown below (all systems are shown).

<table>
<tr>
	<td>System</td><td>ALSA</td><td>OSS</td><td>DirectX</td>
	<td>Win32</td><td>SUN</td><td>SGI</td><td>MME</td><td>SDL</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>Driver</td><td>alsa</td><td>oss</td><td>dx</td>
	<td>win</td><td>sun</td><td>sgi</td><td>mme</td><td>sdl</td>
</tr>
</table>

As \c snd_output is read-only, see \ref cvar_rom for how to set it.

In addition to the above, \QF also supports JACK audio. \QF's JACK support
should work on any system that supports JACK. However, as JACK support
uses a different architecture (JACK audio is "pull", \QF default audio is
"push"), selecting JACK support uses a different cvar; Set \c snd_render
to \c jack (the following table shows the name for both render systems).

<table>
<tr>
	<td>System</td><td>Default</td><td>JACK</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>Render</td><td>default</td><td>jack</td>
</tr>
