## usage: playaud (name [, ext])
## playaud (X)
##
## `playaud ("name" [, "ext"])' plays the audio file "name.ext". The
## default value for the "ext" argument, which has to be written
## without the initial ".", is "lin".
## Currently, the following audio formats are suppored:
## *) linear encoding with extension "lin" or "raw", played using
## /dev/dsp
## *) mu-law encoding with extension "mu", "au" or "snd", played
## using /dev/audio
##
## `playaud (X)' plays the audio data contained in the vector X.
