15 14 .SH DESCRIPTION
16 -.LP
17 15 The \fBaudioplay\fR utility copies the named audio files (or the standard input
18 16 if no filenames are present) to the audio device. If no input file is specified
19 17 and standard input is a tty, the program exits with an error message.
20 18 .sp
21 19 .LP
22 20 The input files must contain a valid audio file header. The encoding
23 21 information in this header is matched against the capabilities of the audio
24 22 device and, if the data formats are incompatible, an error message is printed
25 23 and the file is skipped. Compressed \fBADPCM\fR (G.721) monaural audio data is
26 24 automatically uncompressed before playing.
27 25 .sp
28 26 .LP
29 27 Minor deviations in sampling frequency (that is, less than 1%) are ordinarily
30 28 ignored. This allows, for instance, data sampled at 8012 Hz to be played on an
31 29 audio device that only supports 8000 Hz. If the \fB-V\fR option is present,
32 30 such deviations are flagged with warning messages.

42 39 \fIDevice\fR: The \fIdev\fR argument specifies an alternate audio device to
43 40 which output should be directed. If the \fB-d\fR option is not specified, the
44 41 \fBAUDIODEV\fR environment variable is consulted (see below). Otherwise,
45 42 \fB/dev/audio\fR is used as the default audio device.

54 51 \fIImmediate\fR: If the audio device is unavailable (that is, another process
55 52 currently has write access), \fBaudioplay\fR ordinarily waits until it can
56 53 obtain access to the device. When the \fB-i\fR option is present,
57 54 \fBaudioplay\fR prints an error message and exits immediately if the device is
58 55 busy.

68 65 begins, and is reset to its previous level when \fBaudioplay\fR exits. The
69 66 \fIvol\fR argument is an integer value between 0 and 100, inclusive. If this
70 67 argument is not specified, the output volume remains at the level most recently
71 68 set by any process.

102 99 filename \fB\(mi\fR can be used to read the standard input stream instead of a
103 100 file. If a relative path name is supplied, the \fBAUDIOPATH\fR environment
104 101 variable is consulted (see below).

154 132 .SH BUGS
155 -.LP
156 133 \fBaudioplay\fR currently supports a limited set of audio format conversions.
157 134 If the audio file is not in a format supported by the audio device, it must
158 135 first be converted. For example, to convert to voice format on the fly, use the
159 136 command:
160 137 .sp
161 138 .in +2
162 139 .nf
163 140 example% \fBaudioconvert -f voice myfile | audioplay\fR

165 142 .in -2
166 143 .sp
167 144
168 145 .sp
169 146 .LP
170 147 The format conversion is not always be able to keep up with the audio output.
171 148 If this is the case, you should convert to a temporary file before playing the
172 149 data.
