NAME

       synaesthesia - visual sound display

SYNOPSIS

       synaesthesia [--use-sdl] [--use-x] [--use-svga] [--fullscreen] [--width w] [--height h] input

DESCRIPTION

       Synaestheia  is	a  program  for representing audio graphically in real time using an attractive variety of visual effects.  It reads sound
       data from input and displays the visual representation through svgalib, X or SDL.

       While synaesthesia is running, moving the mouse over the window will expose a set of audio and other runtime controls.

       --use-sdl
	      Force display via SDL.

       --use-svga
	      Force display via svgalib (i386 architecture only).

       --use-x
	      Force display via X.

       --fullscreen
	      Attempt a full-screen display (requires a fast machine).

       --width w
	      Specify a width for the window.

       --height h
	      Specify a height for the window.

       input as cd | line | esd | pipe frequency
	      Audio source; this should be one of cd, line, esd, or pipe.  When using a pipe source, the sample frequency (e.g.   44100)  must	be
	      specified; synaesthesia will expect a 16-bit stereo PCM stream on standard input.  The sound will be played to the audio device.

EXAMPLES
