tinyplay − sends audio to an audio device
tinyplay file [ options ]
tinyplay can send audio to an audio device from a wav file or standard input (as raw samples). Options can be used to specify various hardware parameters to open the PCM with.
−D, --card card
Card number of the PCM. The default is 0.
−d, --device device
Device number of the PCM. The default is 0.
−c, --channels channels
Number of channels the PCM will have. This option is only valid for raw file types. The default is 2 for raw file types.
−r, --rate rate
Number of frames per second of the PCM. This option is only valid for raw file types. The default is 48000 for raw file types.
−i, --file-type file-type
The file type used for playback. Available types are raw and wav. Specifying raw means that channels, rate and bits may have to be specified as well. By default, the file type is determined by the file name. Specifying the file type with this option will take precedent over the one determined by the file name.
−b, --bits bits
Number of bits per sample the PCM will have. This option is only valid for raw file types. The default is 16 for raw file types.
−p, --period-size period_size
Number of frames in a period. The default is 1024.
−n, --period-count periods
Number of periods the PCM will have. The default is 4.
When playing audio, SIGINT will stop the playback and close the file.
tinyplay output.wav
Plays a file called output.wav.
tinyplay output.wav -D 1
Plays a file called output.wav on card 1.
tinyplay output.raw -i raw --channels 2 --rate 44100 --bits 32
Plays a raw audio file called output.raw; using 2 channels, 44100 frames per second and 32 bits per sample.
