Description:
FPlay is a utility that allows you to play huge sound samples directly
from disc. To cope with small pauses in disc transfer (seek times) all
data is buffered in RAM. Using a optimised buffering scheme, it is
possible to play 20.833 kHz samples even from floppy disc.
To provide a decent quality when using low sample rates, it is possible
to use oversampling with linear interpolation. This reduces the harshness
of the sound (caused by intermodulation) and makes the sound quality of
8 kHz speech (or even music) samples quite acceptable.
