pianobar obscura

i like pianobar-git in AUR.  it allows me to control pandora from a terminal, which is nice since my media center is a headless box.

pieanobar works well out of the box.  i got it to play music by changing default audio to oss in /etc/libao.conf

there are some problems:
apparently there is a default configuration file for pianobar itself that lets you enter annoying details such as the username and lastfm account for scrobbling (very nice).

this file must be created from scratch however and there is no example configuration file.

its syntax and extensive options are therefore a mystery.

can anyone shed some light on this?
TIA
