---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Play16 version 1.5 (02.07.95) - a versatile soundplayer for the Amiga --
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features in brief
-----------------
- autodetects and plays several soundfiles, up to 16 bit / 56 kHz / stereo
- full Workbench support (but not Intuition and no GUI)
- 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
- optionally dump the output into a file (can be used to convert sounds)
- supported Filetypes are:
* Microsoft RIFF-WAVE (.WAV) mono / stereo, 8 / 16 bit, linear / uLaw
* Creative Voice File (.VOC) mono / stereo, 8 / 16 bit, linear
* Sun/NeXT Audio (.AU) mono / stereo, 8 / 16 bit, linear / uLaw
* MacroSystem MAUD (.MAUD) mono / stereo, 8 / 16 bit, linear / uLaw
* Apple/SGI/Amiga AIFF (.AIFF) mono / stereo, 8 / 16 bit, linear
* Amiga IFF-8SVX (.IFF) mono / stereo, 8 bit, linear / FibDelta
* 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)
- supported output devices are:
* Native Amiga chipset (Paula) 8 bit
* Native Amiga chipset (Paula) 14 bit
* Native Amiga chipset (Paula) 14 bit calibrated (Christian Buchner)
* MacroSystem Maestro Pro 16 bit 44.1kHz and 48kHz only
* IFF-8SVX file dump 8 bit
What's new since V1.4?
----------------------
V1.5 - Fixed a bug that caused enforcer hits when running Play16
from cli
- Changed the depth of Play16's productivity screen to 1 bitplane
to reduce CPU- and DMA-load
- "Play16 <path>" now opens a filerequester pointing to the
specified path. The new PATH tooltype does the same.
- Fixed mono playback of raw tracks. Thanks to Christian Buchner.
- uLaw decompression for MAUD, too
- Fibonacci Delta decompression for 8SVX, thanks to Ralph Wermke
for the specs.

- Echtzeitwiedergabe von Festplatte, optimierte Assembler-Routinen
- 14 Bit Ausgabe möglich (weniger Rauschen, aber schlechter als 16 Bit)
- automatische oder manuelle Filter-Kontrolle
- spielt Mono-Sounds auf BEIDEN Kanälen, nicht nur auf dem linken
- spielt (und wiederholt) Files, die größer als der Speicher sind
- Vorlade-Funktion für Tastengenaues Playback-Starten
