`mode` can be `create` or `read`. Sometimes your audio source might insist in creating the pipe itself. So the pipe creation mode can by changed to "not create, but only read mode", using the `mode` option set to `read`
**NOTE** With newer kernels using FIFO pipes in a world writeable sticky dir (e.g. `/tmp`) one might also have to turn off `fs.protected_fifos`, as default settings have changed recently: `sudo sysctl fs.protected_fifos=0`.
See [stackexchange](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/503111/group-permissions-for-root-not-working-in-tmp) for more details. You need to run this after each reboot or add it to /etc/sysctl.conf or /etc/sysctl.d/50-default.conf depending on distribution.

## Streams
Snapserver can read audio from several sources, which are configured in the `snapserver.conf` file (default location is `/etc/snapserver.conf`); the config file can be changed with the `-c` parameter.
