sidplay -- Music player and C64 SID chip emulator
SYNOPSIS
sidplay options datafile |-
DESCRIPTION
Sidplayer is a music player program that emulates the the Sound Interface Device chip (MOS 6581, commonly called SID) and the Micro Proces-
sor Unit (MOS 6510), allowing you to play music files written for Commodore 64 on a modern computer.
All you need is audio hardware with average PCM waveform playback capabilities. A fast CPU and a 16-bit sound card are recommended for bet-
ter performance and slightly better audio quality.
OPTIONS -h, --help
show summary of options
-v verbose output
-f num set frequency in Hz (default: 22050)
-o num set song number (default: preset)
-a strict PlaySID song compatibility (deprecated!)
-a2 bank switching mode (overrides -a)
-16 enable 16-bit sample mixing
-s enable stereo playback
-ss enable stereo surround
-pc enable centered auto-panning (stereo only)
-n set NTSC clock speed (default: PAL)
-nf no SID filter emulation
-ns MOS 8580 waveforms (default: MOS 6581)
-c force song speed = clock speed (PAL/NTSC)
-t num set play time in [[h:]m:]s format
-bn num set number of audio buffer fragments to use
-bs num set size 2 num of audio buffer fragments
-b num set sample buffer size

splay - MPEG-1,2 Audio layer 1,2,3 file player
SYNOPSIS
splay [-2VMfmrsv] [-k num] [-d dev] [-l list] [-t num] filenames...
DESCRIPTION
Splay is the sound file player such as MPEG-1,2 Audio files. And you can play these files using list file. With pthread, it can play
sound files smoother.
OPTIONS
Splay has several options.
-2 play MPEG-Audio files with half-frequency. If you use this option, you may play MPEG audio files with job which exhausts CPU very
much.
-f display info on played and remaining frames and time.
-m force to mono. Play with mono even if file is in stereo.
-r Repeat forever. If you -r with -s, list files are shuffled every time.
-s Shuffle play. If you give list file or a number of files, Splay will rearrange them randomly. And with -r every time the order of
files is changed.
-v[v[v]]
Verbose, Very verbose, Very very verbose.
-M Play MPEG file from standard input.
-V Show version number.
-t num
num of frames were saved during playing. When CPU is so busy and prevents splay from decoding, splay will play back using saved
frames. This feature lets you do other job freely while listening to MPEG music.
-k num
num of frames are skipped at the start of playing.
-d dev
Change device file. Default device file is /dev/dsp. If you can't use this device file or you can output raw type data to file, you
can use this option. If the first character of dev is / , dev would be considered as device file, If the first character of dev is
- , dev would be considered as standard output, otherwise dev would be considered as normal file.
-l list
Select list file. http:// can be used. (e.g. http://localhost/abc.m3u)
filenames
You can put several files, and use http:// If you use -l option, these will be ignored.
