NAME

       autool - audio play/record tool compatible with audiotool

SYNOPSYS

       audiotool [-audio servername] [-volume percent] [-display displayname] [-geom geometry]	filename

DESCRIPTION

       The autool program is a replacement for the Sun audiotool program used to send audio files to Network Audio System servers.  It can be used
       either by making a symbolic link name audiotool that points to autool and is before the OpenWindows version or by changing the  OpenWindows
       deskset bindings database with the binder(1) command.

OPTIONS

       The following options may be used with the autool program:

       -audio servername
	       This option specifies the Network Audio System server on which the files should be played.

       -volume 0-100
	       This option specifies the volume at which the data should be played as a percentage of the maximum possible volume.  The default is
	       10 percent.

       -display displayname
	       This option specifies the X Window System on which the control panel should be displayed.

       -geom geometry
	       This option specifies the position and size of the control panel.

CONFIGURING OPENWINDOWS TO USE AUTOOL

       OpenWindows users can configure deskset applications to use autool to play audio files through following steps:

       1.      Run the deskset configuration program binder.

       2.      Locate the entry in the scrolling list named audio-file click on it once with the left mouse button.

       3.      From the Props menu, select the Icon... entry with the right mouse button.

       4.      Click on the button marked (+) in the lower right corner with the left mouse button.  This will expand the window,  adding  another
	       panel to the right.

       5.      On  the line marked Application in the panel on the right, change ``audiotool'' to ``autool'' (you will need to specify a full path
	       name if you have not installed autool in a directory in your path).  The initial volume (which is  a  percentage  relative  to  the
	       recorded level; the default is 10) can be increased by inserting the ``-v percent'' option between ``autool'' and ``$FILE''.

       6.      Press the Apply button in the left panel.

       7.      Back in the main binder window, press the Save button in the upper left corner.

       8.      Restart any deskset applications such as filemgr to have the updated values take effect.

       Double clicking in filemgr on file names that end in .snd will now cause autool to invoked.

ENVIRONMENT

       The following environment variables are used by autool:

       AUDIOSERVER
	       This variable specifies the default audio server to contact if -audio is not specified on the command line.

       DISPLAY If AUDIOSERVER is not set, this variable is examined to find the name of the corresponding X Window System display.

AUCTL(1)						      General Commands Manual							  AUCTL(1)

NAME

       auctl - control various audio server parameters

SYNOPSYS

       auctl [-audio servername] [-q] [command...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  auctl  program can be used to control various audio server parameters.  It is typically used when connecting up new devices, or to set
       user preferences.  If no command is specified on the program command line, auctl reads commands from the standard output.  If the  standard
       input and standard output are both attached to a terminal, an interactive prompt is provided.

OPTIONS

       The following options may be used with auctl:

       -audio servername
	       This option specifies the Network Audio System server on which the files should be played.

       -q      This option indicates that no prompt should be given when reading commands from the standard input.

COMMANDS

       The following commands may be used with auctl:

       help    This command prints a list of the commands that may be given.

       set device id gain [=,+,-] percent
	       With  =,  this command sets the gain on the device specified by id to the indicated percentage, or alters it by the given number of
	       percentage points if + or - is used.  If the id is a decimal number n, the nth device returned by the server (see auinfo) is  used.
	       Otherwise, id should be a hexidecimal number specifying the resource identifier of the desired device.

       set device id linemode = low
	       This command sets the linemode of the device specified by id to the lower setting appropriate for microphones.

       set device id linemode = hi
	       This command sets the linemode of the device specified by id to the higher setting appropriate for CD players.

       list device id gain
	       This command lists the gain of the specified device in the form needed to set it.

       list device id linemode
	       This command lists the line mode of the specified device in the form needed to set it.

       list device id
	       This command lists the gain and line mode of the specified device.

       quit, exit, or ^D
	       Either of these commands or an end of file causes the program to exit.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables are used by auctl:

       AUDIOSERVER
	       This specifies the name of default audio server to contact if no name is explicitly given on the command line.

       DISPLAY This  specifies	the  name  of  an X Window System display that should be assumed to also have a corresponding Network Audio System
	       server.
