5 5 NAME
6 6 audioplay - play audio files
7 7
8 8 SYNOPSIS
9 9 audioplay [-iV] [-v vol] [-d dev] [file]...
10 10
11 11
12 12 DESCRIPTION
13 13 The audioplay utility copies the named audio files (or the standard
14 14 input if no filenames are present) to the audio device. If no input
15 15 file is specified and standard input is a tty, the program exits with
16 16 an error message.
17 17
18 18
19 19 The input files must contain a valid audio file header. The encoding
20 20 information in this header is matched against the capabilities of the
21 21 audio device and, if the data formats are incompatible, an error
22 22 message is printed and the file is skipped. Compressed ADPCM (G.721)
23 23 monaural audio data is automatically uncompressed before playing.
24 24
25 25
26 26 Minor deviations in sampling frequency (that is, less than 1%) are
27 27 ordinarily ignored. This allows, for instance, data sampled at 8012 Hz
28 28 to be played on an audio device that only supports 8000 Hz. If the -V
29 29 option is present, such deviations are flagged with warning messages.
30 30
31 31 OPTIONS
32 32 The following options are supported:
33 33
34 34 -d dev
35 35 Device: The dev argument specifies an alternate audio device
36 36 to which output should be directed. If the -d option is not
37 37 specified, the AUDIODEV environment variable is consulted
38 38 (see below). Otherwise, /dev/audio is used as the default
39 39 audio device.
40 40
41 41
42 42 -i
43 43 Immediate: If the audio device is unavailable (that is,
44 44 another process currently has write access), audioplay
45 45 ordinarily waits until it can obtain access to the device.
46 46 When the -i option is present, audioplay prints an error
47 47 message and exits immediately if the device is busy.
48 48
49 49
50 50 -v vol
51 51 Volume: The output volume is set to the specified value
52 52 before playing begins, and is reset to its previous level
53 53 when audioplay exits. The vol argument is an integer value
54 54 between 0 and 100, inclusive. If this argument is not

55 55 specified, the output volume remains at the level most
56 56 recently set by any process.
57 57
58 58
59 59 -V
60 60 Verbose: Prints messages on the standard error when waiting
61 61 for access to the audio device or when sample rate
62 62 deviations are detected.

69 69 OPERANDS
70 70 file
71 71 File Specification: Audio files named on the command line are
72 72 played sequentially. If no filenames are present, the standard
73 73 input stream (if it is not a tty) is played (it, too, must
74 74 contain an audio file header). The special filename - can be
75 75 used to read the standard input stream instead of a file. If a
76 76 relative path name is supplied, the AUDIOPATH environment
77 77 variable is consulted (see below).
78 78
79 79
80 80 USAGE
81 81 See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of audioplay when
82 - encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
82 + encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte (2^31 bytes).
83 83
84 84 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
85 85 AUDIODEV
86 86 The full path name of the audio device to write to, if no
87 87 -d argument is supplied. If the AUDIODEV variable is not
88 88 set, /dev/audio is used.
89 89
90 90
91 91 AUDIOPATH
92 92 A colon-separated list of directories in which to search
93 93 for audio files whose names are given by relative
94 94 pathnames. The current directory (.) can be specified
95 95 explicitly in the search path. If the AUDIOPATH variable
96 96 is not set, only the current directory is searched.

116 102 BUGS
117 103 audioplay currently supports a limited set of audio format conversions.
118 104 If the audio file is not in a format supported by the audio device, it
119 105 must first be converted. For example, to convert to voice format on the
120 106 fly, use the command:
121 107
122 108 example% audioconvert -f voice myfile | audioplay
123 109
124 110
125 111
126 112
127 113 The format conversion is not always be able to keep up with the audio
128 114 output. If this is the case, you should convert to a temporary file
129 115 before playing the data.
