-Скопируй бинарник на станцию в `/data/opt/alice-backend` и запусти из этого каталога. Укажи адрес станции и адрес Windows. Приёмник работает с запущенным PulseAudio, принимает моно или стерео PCM в пакетах Scream и воспроизводит их через вход `music`. На этот вход действуют Room EQ и приглушение на время разговора.
+Скопируй бинарник на станцию в `/data/opt/alice-backend` и запусти из этого каталога. Укажи адрес станции и адрес Windows. Приёмник работает с запущенным PulseAudio, принимает до восьми каналов PCM в пакетах Scream и сводит их в PulseAudio и воспроизводит их через вход `music`. На этот вход действуют Room EQ и приглушение на время разговора.
