Short: Plays WAV, IFF, MAUD, etc, 14 bit output
Author: wenzel@unixserv.rz.fh-hannover.de
Uploader: wenzel@unixserv.rz.fh-hannover.de
Type: mus/play
-- Play16 version 1.3 - a versatile soundplayer for the Amiga --
Features in brief
-----------------
- autodetects and plays several soundfiles, up to 16 bit / 56 kHz / stereo
- always correct playback speed, even for sounds >28 kHz
- realtime playback from harddisk, optimized assembler routines
- optional 14 bit output (less noise but not as good as true 16 bit)
- automatic or manual audio filter control
- plays mono sounds on *both* channels, not only on the left one
- plays (and loops) files that are larger than memory
- preloading for exactly timed start of playback
- fast uLaw decompression
- system friendly audio channel allocation
- supported Filetypes are:
* Microsoft RIFF-WAVE (.WAV) mono / stereo, 8 / 16 bit, linear / uLaw
* Sun/NeXT Audio (.AU) mono / stereo, 8 / 16 bit, linear / uLaw
* MacroSystem MAUD (.MAUD) mono / stereo, 8 / 16 bit, linear
* Apple/SGI/Amiga AIFF (.AIFF) mono / stereo, 8 / 16 bit, linear
* Amiga IFF-8SVX (.IFF) mono / stereo, 8 bit, linear
* Any raw sound data as long as it matches one of the following:
- 8 bit signed
- 8 bit unsigned
- 16 bit signed, Intel format (LSB first)
- 16 bit signed, Motorola format (MSB first)
What's new since V1.2?
----------------------
V1.3 - 14 bit output (finally!)
- Any file Play16 can't recognise is considered raw data unless
you set the STRICT keyword
- Fixed a bug in WAV filetype length determination
- Advanced audiofilter control / original state will be restored
after playback
- More information about sound (AUTHOR or ANNO-Chunk) is being
printed out if VERBOSE>=1. However, Play16 will *not* search
the whole file for that string. If it doesn't come before the
sound data -- bad luck :-)
