- NAME
- play - play sounds to DAC or A/D64X at any sampling rate.
-
- DESCRIPTION
- play plays soundfiles recorded at any sampling rate. If the
- input soundfile's sampling rate is neither 44.1kHz, nor
- 48kHz, play performs a real-time sampling rate conversion
- and sends its output either to the NeXT D/A converters or to
- Singular Solutions' A/D64X converters for SPDIFF digital
- transfer to a DAT machine. When the sound is output to the
- A/D64X converters, you need to specify the SPDIFF sampling
- rate. play can play soundfiles (with a header) or raw
- binary files containing short ints, in which case you just
- need to specify the sound's sampling rate ( play can recog-
- nize soundfiles from simple binary files). When playing
- binary files, play assumes the sound is mono, unless you
- specify it is stereo. play can play mono, stereo sound-
- files, play only one of the two channels, or add the two
- channels and play in mono (for stereo soundfile). play can
- also swap the input sound's bytes, for compatibility with
- DEC machines, PCs etc. By using the shell command `setenv
- DEFAULT_SR 8000', you can select the default sampling rate
- (used only when the sound has no header, and no sampling
- rate is specified).
