- 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.
