NAME

play - send a waveform file to the local audio output device.

SYNOPSIS

towav file[.wav][$segment][#channel]

DESCRIPTION

play reads a waveform file (or as much of it as possible if memory is limited) using opnwav and inwav in the libcwav library, and sends the file to the Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) by calling function dac also in libcwav. The current version of play supports only monaural output. Consequently only one channel of multi-channel files will be played. By default, this is the first channel (channel #0) or left channel of stereo recordings.

OPTIONS

At present, play recognizes no command line options.
