esdsample [-s hostname:port] [-b] [-d] [-e] [-h] [-m] [-r freq] samplename DESCRIPTION
The esdsample utility plays a sample using the Enlighted Sound Daemon (esd). OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -s hostname:port Contact the esd server on hostname at port. -b Specify that the output should be in 8-bit format. By default, the output is in 16-bit format. -d Play the sample from file as raw data. The default behavior is to read the data from a sound file (.wav, .au, and so on). If this option is chosen, samplename is the name of a file. -e Play the sample from the esd cache.

By default, the output is in stereo format. -r freq Specify that the output rate should be set to freq. By default, the output rate is set to 44.1 kHz. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: samplename The name of the sample to be played. If the -e option is used, samplename is the esd cache name. Otherwise, sam- plename is a filename. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Playing a sample from a file example% esdsample generic.wav Example 2: Playing a sample from the esd cache example% esdsample -e esdctl:generic.wav (where esdctl:generic.wav is the cache name) EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Application exited successfully >0 Application exited with failure FILES
