Aplay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The correct title of this article is aplay. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
aplay is a command-line soundfile player for the ALSA soundcard driver. It supports several file formats and multiple soundcards with multiple devices. For supported soundfile formats, the sampling rate, bit depth, and so forth can be automatically determined from the soundfile header.
[edit] Example
aplay -c 1 -t raw -r 22050 -f mu_law foobar
Will play the raw file "foobar" as a 22050-Hz, mono, 8-bit, Mu-Law .au file.
