 NAME
      rplay

 SYNOPSIS
      rplay [options]

 DESCRIPTION
 OPTIONS
      -b BYTES, --buffer-size=BYTES
           Use of a buffer size of BYTES when playing sounds using RPTP
           flows.  The default is 8K.

      -c, --continue
           Continue sounds.

      -n N, --count=N
           Number of times to play the sound, default = 1.

      -N N, --list-count=N
           Number of times to play all the sounds, default = 1.

      --list-name=NAME
           Name this list NAME.  rplayd appends sounds with the same NAME
           into the same sound list -- it plays them sequentially.

      --help
           Display helpful information.

      -h HOST, --host=HOST, --hosts=HOST
           Specify the rplay host, default = localhost.

      -i INFO, --info=INFO
           Audio information for a sound file.  This option is intended to
           be used when sounds are read from standard input.  INFO must be
           of the form:
               `format,sample-rate,bits,channels,byte-order,offset'
           Examples: ulaw,8000,8,1,big-endian,0
                     gsm,8000 Shorthand info is provided for Sun's audio
           devices using the following options: --info-amd, --info-dbri, --
           info-cs4231.  There's also: --info-ulaw and --info-gsm.

      -p, --pause
           Pause sounds.

      --port=PORT
           Use PORT instead of the default RPLAY/UDP or RPTP/TCP port.

      -P N, --priority=N
           Play sounds at priority N (0 <= N <= 255), default = 0.

      -r, --random
           Randomly choose one of the given sounds.

      --reset
           Tell the server to reset itself.

      --rplay, --RPLAY
           Force the use of the RPLAY protocol.  The default protocol to be
           used is determined by checking whether or not the server has
           local access to the specified sounds.  RPLAY is used when sounds
           are accessible, otherwise RPTP and possibly flows are used.
           RPLAY will also be used when sound accessibility cannot be
           determined.

      --rptp, --RPTP
           Force the use of the RPTP protocol.  See `--rplay' for more
           information about protocols.

      -R N, --sample-rate=N
           Play sounds at sample rate N, default = 0.

      -s, --stop
           Stop sounds.

      --version
           Print the rplay version and exit.

      -v N, --volume=N
           Play sounds at volume N (0 <= N <= 255), default = 127.
