NAME
paplay - Play back audio files on a PulseAudio sound server
SYNOPSIS
paplay [options] FILE paplay --help paplay --version
DESCRIPTION
paplay is a simple tool for playing back audio files on a PulseAudio sound server. It understands all audio file formats supported by lib- sndfile.
OPTIONS
-h | --help Show help. --version Show version information. -v | --verbose Enable verbose operation. Dumps the current playback time to STDERR during playback. -s | --server=SERVER Choose the server to connect to. -d | --device=SINK Specify the symbolic name of the sink to play this file on. -n | --client-name=NAME Specify the client name paplay shall pass to the server when connecting. --stream-name=NAME Specify the stream name paplay shall pass to the server when creating the stream. --volume=VOLUME Specify the initial playback volume to use. Choose a value between 0 (silent) and 65536 (100% volume). --channel-map=CHANNELMAP Explicitly choose a channel map when playing back this stream. The argument should be a comma separated list of channel names: front-left, front-right, mono, front-center, rear-left, rear-right, rear-center, lfe, front-left-of-center, front-right-of-center, side-left, side-right, top-center, top-front-center, top-front-left, top-front-right, top-rear-left, top-rear-right, top-rear-cen- ter, or any of the 32 auxiliary channel names aux0 to aux31.
LIMITATIONS
Due to a limitation in libsndfile paplay currently does not always set the correct channel mapping for playback of multichannel (i.e. sur- round) audio files, even if the channel mapping information is available in the audio file.
