PLAY_SND(1)

NAME
play_snd - plays a raw 8-bit sound file

SYNOPSIS
play_snd [ file ]

The argument must be the sound file to be played.

DESCRIPTION
play_snd Plays raw 8-bit sound files, using shared memory and two processes to double buffer reads and writes. Feel free to use SIGINT (usually control-C) to interrupt the play. Do NOT, however, use SIGKILL or any other signal to terminate the program. This leaves unwanted left-overs, in the form of a shared memory segment. Use play_cleanup if this happens accidentally. Use set_speed to change the playing rate of the samples.
