Name
       hcdplay -- Control autonomous CDDA playback using Linux CDROM ioctls

Syntax
       hcdplay [-CEPRSTs] [-D device] [-p first-track [last-track]]

Description
       CD-DA  discs  in	 CD-ROM	drives can either be played back using Digital
       Audio Extraction	(DAE) where software requests sector by	sector,	or  by
       using  the  drive's  autonomous playback	functions, whereby the drive's
       firmware	will do	the sector reading. Software is	only  required	for  a
       few control codes to initiate or	terminate playback. (If	the drive pos-
       sesses  extra  buttons  besides	the  eject  function, such as the Sony
       CDU5221,	Autonomous Playback can	even be	controlled using  that	method
       as well.)

       With this autonomous play mode, the drive can/will output sound using a
       variety	of methods. Common ones	are a 3.5mm headphone jack and a 4-pin
       Analog Audio connector that is supposed to be  connected	 a  soundcard.
       These  are often	lacking	nowadays, especially external drives, slimline
       drives, and even	internal 5.25" SATA drives. As such, these drives  of-
       ten  do	not  even  implement the Autonomous Playback functions anymore
       (the particular ATA commands are	ignored).

Options
       -C, --close
	      Request that the drive be	closed.

       -D, --device device
	      The path to the CD-ROM device node. Defaults to /dev/sr0.

       -E, --eject
	      Request that the drive be	ejected.

       -P, --pause
	      Pause playback. This can only be issued if the CD-ROM  drive  is
	      in the Playing state.

       -R, --resume
	      Resume  playback.	This can only be issued	if the CD-ROM drive is
	      in the Paused state.

       -S, --stop
	      Stop playback.

       -T, --toc
	      Print part of the	disc's table of	contents (TOC).

       -p, --play [first-track [last-track]]
	      Start playback of	first-track and	play until last-track.	If  no
	      first  track  is	specified,  starts from	1. If no last track is
	      specified, it will play until the	end of the disc.

       -s, --start
	      Start playback.
