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 possesses extra  buttons  be-
     sides 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 va-
     riety 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 of-
     ten lacking nowadays, especially external drives, slimline drives, and even
     internal  5.25" SATA drives. As such, these drives often do not even imple-
     ment 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.
