Splay is the sound file player such as MPEG-1,2 Audio files and Wave
files. And you can play these files using list file. With pthread, it can play
sound files smoother. And it has X-interface with libqt. Splay with qt may
make you splay easily.
Splay has several options.
- -2
- play MPEG-Audio files with half-frequency. If you use this option, you may
play MPEG audio files with job which exhausts CPU very much.
- -e
- exit when play is done. (xsplay)
- -m
- force to mono. Play with mono even if file have stereo quality.
- -r
- Repeat forever. (Not X-interface) If you -r with -s, list files would be
shuffled everytime.
- -s
- Shuffle play. If you give list file or a number of files, Splay will makes
them rearranged randomly. And with -r Everytime the order of files would
be changed.
- -v
- Verbose, Very verbose, Very very verbose. (Note: splay version supplied
with mp3blaster does not have this feature anymore)
- -M
- Play MPEG file as standard input.
- -W
- Play Wave file as standard input.
- -V
- Show version number.
- -t num
- num of frames were saved during playing. When CPU is so busy and
prevents splay from decoding, splay will play back using saved frames.
This feature makes you do other job freely with listing MPEG music.
- -d dev
- Change device file. Default device file is /dev/dsp. If you can't
use this device file or you can output raw type data to file, you can use
this option. If the first character of dev is / , dev
would be considered as device file, If the first character of dev
is - , dev would be considered as standard output, otherwise
dev would be considered as normal file.
- -l list
- Select list file. http:// can be used. (e.g.
http://localhost/abc.m3u)
- filenames
- You can put several files, and use http:// If filename contains .mp
or .MP, it will be considered as MPEG-Audio file. Otherwise be considered
as Wave file. But if you use -l option, these will be ignored.
