-- Play16 version 1.6 (04.02.96) - 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/ADPCM
* Creative Voice File (.VOC) mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, linear
* Sun/NeXT Audio (.AU) mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, linear/uLaw
* MacroSystem Audio (.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 V1.5?
V1.6 - Improved the V34 performance. (whoops, wrong file! :-)))
- A one-plane-screen will now be used for CLI mode as well.
- Task priority is now reset to 0 at exit.
- Files with additional data after the sound chunk are now being
played correctly.
- CTRL-D now skips the current sound and starts playing
the next one.
- ASL library will only be opened if a filerequester is really
needed. Thanks to all who suggested to do this.
- New option: Volume (only for Paula8 mode)
- New option: Multiple (only if filerequester pops up)
- No more chunks of odd length in 8SVX dump
- MS-ADPCM decompression for WAV files (still experimental)
- RAW option works now as a Tooltype entry as well

16 Bit, 56 kHz, stereo
- volle Workbench-Unterstützung, jedoch kein GUI
- immer korrekte Wiedergabegeschwindigkeit, sogar bei Sounds >28 kHz
- 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
- schnelle uLaw Entpackfunktion
- Systemfreundliche Tonkanal-Belegung
- Ausgabe in ein File ist möglich (Sound-Konvertierung)
