audioplay

The audioplay application program plays an audio file using the
Multimedia Services product. The file may be in WAVE format
or SUN (.au) format. This includes files recorded using the
audiorecord and DECsound programs. If the file is not in
one of these formats, it will be played as a raw audio file.

The format options that are in the file header will be used
to play the file. The user can override any of these using the
command line options. If the file is a raw audio file, then the
default values will be used.

Pressing Ctrl/C pauses the playback, which can be resumed by
pressing Return. Pressing a second Ctrl/C terminates the program;
otherwise, the entire file is played.

To determine the device number and formats supported for an audio
output device, use the audiodevices program.
