15944N/ASpecify how &cmd; will manage its cache control. The value of

15944N/A&quot;permanent&quot; will cause the sample to be cached in the server

15944N/Apermanently. This is useful for very frequently used sounds. The value of

15944N/A&quot;volatile&quot; may be used for caching sounds in the sound server

15944N/Atemporarily. They will expire after some time or on cache pressure. The

15944N/Avalue of &quot;never&quot; may be used that should never be cached, because

15944N/Athey are only generated very seldomly or only once.

15944N/ANot all libcanberra backends support caching, and this option is only
