dbcat

DBCAT(1)						      General Commands Manual							  DBCAT(1)

NAME

       dbcat - Send audio data to DB Fourier Synthesis daemon

SYNOPSIS

       dbcat [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  dbcat tool provides a simple means to feed dbfsd with audio data.  Both programs are part of the DBMix project, a digital audio mixing
       system.	dbcat takes input data from its standard input only, and is therefore usually used in a pipe with some other sound generating pro-
       gram.

OPTIONS

       -8     Input data comprises of PCM-coded 8bit unsigned samples.	(Default: 16bit signed samples.)

       -c n   Connect to channel n of dbfsd.  (Default: first channel available.)

       -d     Print out debug messages to console.  (Default: debugging disabled.)

       -h     Print summary of available options.

       -m     Input data is a mono stream.  (Default: interleaved stereo stream.)

       -r rate
	      Input data is sampled at rate Hertz.  (Default: 44100Hz.)

       -v     Print version information.  (Default: no version information.)

       -S     Produce  an  endless stream of blank audio data (silence).  Any input data is dropped.  This mode provides a dummy source useful for
	      testing and debugging.  (Default: pass on input data.)

EXAMPLES

       mpg321 -s test.mp3 | dbcat
	      Sends a 16bit/44.1kHz stereo audio stream decoded from test.mp3 off to dbfsd.

SEE ALSO

       dbin(1), dbfsd(1), dbmixer(1), dbmix(7).

       This manual page was written by Daniel Kobras <kobras@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be  used  by  others).   It	is
       heavily based on DBMix's README file written by Robert Michael S Dean.
