## Useful Commands
```bash
reforger-surround up # create sink, save default, make 5.1 default
reforger-surround launch # up, launch Steam app, wait for stream, restore
reforger-surround restore # restore previous default, then expose Reforger
reforger-surround expose # move running Reforger stream to the 5.1 sink
reforger-surround check # report whether Reforger is 2ch or 6ch
reforger-surround down # restore default and unload the 5.1 sink
reforger-eq up # create sink, save default, make 5.1 default
reforger-eq launch # up, launch Steam app, wait for stream, restore
reforger-eq restore # restore previous default, then expose Reforger
reforger-eq expose # move running Reforger stream to the 5.1 sink
reforger-eq check # report whether Reforger is 2ch or 6ch
reforger-eq down # restore default and unload the 5.1 sink
```
## Configuration
```bash
REFORGER_SURROUND_SINK_NAME=reforger_surround_51
REFORGER_SURROUND_DESCRIPTION="Reforger Surround 5.1"
REFORGER_SURROUND_APP_NAME="Arma Reforger"
REFORGER_SURROUND_STEAM_URI=steam://rungameid/1874880
REFORGER_SURROUND_WAIT_SECONDS=90
REFORGER_EQ_SINK_NAME=reforger_eq_51
REFORGER_EQ_DESCRIPTION="ReforgerEQ 5.1"
REFORGER_EQ_APP_NAME="Arma Reforger"
REFORGER_EQ_STEAM_URI=steam://rungameid/1874880
REFORGER_EQ_WAIT_SECONDS=90
```
LFE is silent even when Reforger is outputting 6ch.
