auplay - play a sound file to a Network Audio System server SYNOPSIS
auplay [-audio servername] [-volume 0-100] [-i] [-I] [-l] files... DESCRIPTION
The auplay program can be used to play audio data stored in the .SND, .AU, or .WAV formats common on Sun workstations and PCs. It is typi- cally used from shell scripts or command line procedures. If no filenames are given on the command line, audio data will be read fron stdin, unless the -l option is given. OPTIONS
The following options may be used with the auplay 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 100 percent. -i This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed along with playing the data. -I This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed instead of playing the data. -l This option indicates that a list of filenames is to be read from stdin. auplay will play these files after playing any files given explicitly as command line arguments.

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. SEE ALSO
