.SH HEADLESS OPERATION
Audacious supports a headless operation mode, where Audacious does not use
X11 and instead operates as a daemon. You should note that you cannot switch
between daemonized mode and X11 mode, and that if you wish to switch back
and forth, that you need to do so when starting the program.

When using Audacious in headless mode, you will need a client. Clients
compatible with Audacious are listed on the Audacious website.
