ssize_t muroar_write (muroar_t fh, const void * buf, size_t len);

This function writes a block of data to a connected stream. It exists to have a portable way to send the data to the sound server that does not depend on the underlying operating system.

fh

On success this call return the number of successful written bytes. On error, -1 is returned.

This function calls the underlying write function in a loop. If this returns less than the given length you should not re-try directly but wait at least some milisecunds.
