musserver - Music server for DooM Legacy

musserver [options]

When Linux Doom was originally released, the music support had been left out. musserver, a companion to Id's sndserver, provides full music support for doom. Its behavior is similar to, if not indistinguishable from, that of the DOS version of Doom. musserver plays the music for Doom via the /dev/sequencer interface. It automatically changes music whenever appropriate, and loops songs while the user is in a level. It also changes music volume according to the "MUSIC VOLUME" slider in Doom.

You don't need to start musserver manually, llxdoom will start it's musserver automatically.
