Its main atribute is ``kind``. The kind essentialy specifies the function that will be run among a
predefined set of :doc:`audiogenerators` . Every other attribute is an argument to the specified

CONTINOUS_AUDIOSPEC
when the playlist is too short, larigira picks something new. How? this is controlled by this variable.
This variable should be set to the JSON representation of an audiospec describing how to generate new
audios. The default is ``{"kind": "mpd", "howmany": 1}``. You could, for example, change it to
``{ "kind": "randomdir", "paths": ["/var/music"], "howmany": 10}``
or to ``{"kind": "mpd", "howmany": 5, "prefix": "background"}``.
audios. The default is ``{"kind": "mpd", "howmany": 1}``, which picks a random song from MPD library. You could, for example, change it to:
- ``{ "kind": "randomdir", "paths": ["/var/music"], "howmany": 5}`` to pick files from a specified
directory, ignoring MPD library completely. Here, ``howmany`` is set to 5 for performance sake
- ``{"kind": "mpd", "howmany": 10, "prefix": "background"}`` if you want to use the MPD library, but only
use one of its subdirectories. Please note that using ``mpd`` with a ``prefix`` can be slow, so this is setting ``howmany`` to 10 to gain some performance
Yes, there's a typo in the name, but I'll keep it like this for compatibility
