- Short: Multi-Format Sampled Sound Player, v1.21
-
- TITLE
- OmniPlay - A multi-format sound player for AmigaDOS
-
- VERSION
- 1.21, 29 Oct 1992
-
- DESCRIPTION
- OmniPlay plays samples sounds from a variety of sound file
- formats, including IFF-8svx, aiff, WAV, VOC, .au, .snd,
- and 8-bit raw (signed, unsigned, u-law). In addition,
- PowerPacked sounds can be played if you have v34+ of
- powerpacker.library installed.
-
- OmniPlay determines the type of sound it's dealing with
- automagically, so the minimum command is "oplay somesound".
- This works on *any* file, although raw files might sound
- better if you specify a rate.
-
- Options control rate, volume, output audio channel, wait-time
- between sounds, process priority, printing of sound properties
- (such as IFF NAME, AUTH, etc.), and more. Options are
- sequenced, not pre-scanned, so two files can have different
- option sets.
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- A sampled sound file. If you wish to PowerPack sounds, you
- should have powerpacker.library (not included) in your libs:
- directory.
-
- CHANGES
- (since v1.10)
- - Some routines in OmniPlay used Kickstart 2.0+ system calls.
- This made playback of raw and .voc files impossible on an
- Amiga running less than v2.0 or the OS. This has been
- fixed, and, for the time being, OmniPlay should be fully
- functional on an 1.3 Amiga.
- - The OMNIPLAY environment variable now allows the user to set
- personal defaults.
- - "-O" option allows the environment to specify output to a
- file or window in the same way a shell redirection does.
- - Now reads PowerPacked files correctly (older versions were
- limited to no more than one consecutive PP sound file)
- - "-a" option did not behave the way the documentation said it
- did. Now it does.
- - new "-i" option will display more info on a sound file than
- was previously shown.
- - new "-W" option writes the sound you hear (that is, after
- any rate or volume changes, format conversion, or
- amplification) into an IFF-8SVX file.
