.B \-o [filetype][:filetypeoptions]
Select output type. Can be "vorbis" (or "ogg"), "mp3", "flac", "spx", "mpc", "m4a",
-"wav", "wv", "ape" or "opus". Specify a comma-delimited list of output types to obtain
-all specified types. See the OUTPUTTYPE configuration variable. One can pass
-options to the encoder for a specific filetype on the command line separating
+"wav", "wv", "ape", "opus" or "mka". Specify a comma-delimited list of output types
+to obtain all specified types. See the OUTPUTTYPE configuration variable. One can
+pass options to the encoder for a specific filetype on the command line separating
them with a colon. The options must be escaped with double-quotes.

.B \-p
subdirectory named after the artist under the current directory. This can be
modified using the OUTPUTFORMAT and VAOUTPUTFORMAT variables in your
\fIabcde.conf\fR. Each file is given an extension identifying its compression
-format, 'vorbis' for '.ogg', '.mp3', '.flac', '.spx', '.mpc', '.wav', 'wv', 'ape' or '.opus'.
+format, 'vorbis' for '.ogg', '.mp3', '.flac', '.spx', '.mpc', '.wav', '.wv',

.SH CONFIGURATION
\fBabcde\fR sources two configuration files on startup - \fI/etc/abcde.conf\fR and
\fI$HOME/.abcde.conf\fR, in that order.
.TP
.B TTAENCODERSYNTAX
Specifies the style of encoder to use for True Audio (tts) encoding. We
-support \'ttaenc\' only.
+support \'tta\' as default but the older \'ttaenc\' can be used as well.
.TP
.B WVENCODERSYNTAX
Specifies the style of encoder to use for WavPack. We support \'wavpack\'
Specifies the style of encoder to use for the Opus encoder. At this point only
\'opusenc\' is available for Opus encoding.
.TP
+.B MKAENCODERSYNTAX
+Specifies the style of encoder to use for the Matroska or mka container. At this
+point only \'ffmpeg\' is available to utilise the mka container. Safe audio codecs
+for mka include Vorbis, MP2, MP3, LC-AAC, HE-AAC, WMAv1, WMAv2, AC3, eAC3 and Opus.
+See the FAQ document for more information.
+.TP
.B NORMALIZERSYNTAX
Specifies the style of normalizer to use. Valid options are \'default\'
and \'normalize'\ (and both run \'normalize-audio\'), since we only support it,
EJECT, MD5SUM, DISTMP3, VORBISCOMMENT, NORMALIZE, CDSPEED, MP3GAIN, VORBISGAIN,
MPCGAIN, MKCUE, MKTOC, CUE2DISCID (see option "\-X"), DIFF, HTTPGET, GLYRC,
IDENTIFY, DISPLAYCMD, CONVERT, QAAC, WINE, FHGAACENC, ATOMICPARSLEY, FFMPEG,
-TWOLAME, MID3V2 and TTAENC.
+TWOLAME, MID3V2, TTA and TTAENC.
.TP
.B COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
If you wish to specify command-line options to any of the programs \fBabcde\fR uses,
(Ogg/Vorbis), "mp3" (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III), "flac" (Free Lossless Audio
Codec), "mp2" (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III), "spx" (Ogg/Speex), "mpc" (MPP/MP+ (Musepack),
"m4a" (AAC or ALAC),"wv" (WavPack"), "wav" (Microsoft Waveform), "opus"
-(Opus Interactive Audio Codec) or "tta" (True Audio). Values like "vorbis,mp3"
-encode the tracks in both Ogg/Vorbis and MP3 formats. For example:
+(Opus Interactive Audio Codec), "tta" (True Audio) or "mka" (Matroska). Values like
+"vorbis,mp3" encode the tracks in both Ogg/Vorbis and MP3 formats. For example:
.br
OUTPUTTYPE=vorbis,flac
.br
For each value in OUTPUTTYPE, \fBabcde\fR expands a different process for encoding,
tagging and moving, so you can use the format placeholder, OUTPUT, to create
different subdirectories to hold the different types. The variable OUTPUT will
-be 'vorbis', 'mp3', 'flac', 'spx', 'mpc', 'm4a', mp2, 'wv', 'ape', 'tta' and/or 'wav',
-depending on the OUTPUTTYPE you define. For example
+be 'vorbis', 'mp3', 'flac', 'spx', 'mpc', 'm4a', mp2, 'wv', 'ape', 'tta', 'wav'
+and/or 'mka' depending on the OUTPUTTYPE you define. For example
.br
OUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}._${TRACKFILE}'
