SoXI(1) 							  Sound eXchange							   SoXI(1)

NAME

       SoXI - Sound eXchange Information, display sound file metadata

SYNOPSIS

       soxi [-V[level]] [-T] [-t|-r|-c|-s|-d|-D|-b|-B|-e|-a] infile1 ...

DESCRIPTION

       Displays  information from the header of a given audio file or files.  Supported audio file types are listed and described in soxformat(7).
       Note however, that soxi is intended for use only with audio files with a self-describing header.

       By default, as much information as is available is shown.  An option may be given to select just a single piece of information (perhaps for
       use in a script or batch-file).

OPTIONS

       -V     Set verbosity. See sox(1) for details.

       -T     Used  with  multiple files; changes the behaviour of -s, -d and -D to display the total across all given files.  Note that when used
	      with -s with files with different sampling rates, this is of questionable value.

       -t     Show detected file-type.

       -r     Show sample-rate.

       -c     Show number of channels.

       -s     Show number of samples (0 if unavailable).

       -d     Show duration in hours, minutes and seconds (0 if unavailable).  Equivalent to number of samples divided by the sample-rate.

       -D     Show duration in seconds (0 if unavailable).

       -b     Show number of bits per sample.

       -B     Show the bitrate averaged over the whole file (0 if unavailable).

       -e     Show the name of the audio encoding.

       -a     Show file comments (annotations) if available.

NAME

       play - play any sound file to audio device

       rec  - record audio to any sound file format

SYNOPSIS

       play [fopts] infile [effect]

       rec [fopts] outfile [effect]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page briefly documents the play and rec commands.

       play  and  rec are programs that allow you to play and record different types of sound files from the command line.  They are front ends to
       the more general sox(1) package.  Normally, the play command will automatically detect the type and other parameters of the  soundfile.	If
       it can't do so, the parameters can be changed through options.

OPTIONS

       A summary of common options are included below.	For a complete description of options and their values, see the sox(1) man page.

       -c [channels], --channels=[channels]
	      Define the number of channels in the file.

       -d [device], --device=[device]
	      Specify a different device to play the sound file to.

       -f [format], --format=[format]
	      Specify bit format of the sample. One of s, u, U, A, a, or g.

       -r [rate], --rate=[rate]
	      Specify the sample rate of the audio data (samples per second).

       -s [size], --size=[size]
	      Specify the width of each sample.  One of b, w, l, f, d, or D.

       -t [type], --type=[type]
	      Specify audio file format to use.  Useful if it can not be automatically determined.

       -v [volume], --volume=[volume]
	      Change the audio volume

       -x , --xinu
	      Reverse the byte order of the sample (only works with 16 and 32-bit data).

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       --version
	      Show version of play/rec.

       Description of effects are described in the
	      sox(1) man page.
