NAME
     splay - MPEG-1,2 Audio layer 1,2,3 and Wave file player

SYNOPSIS
     splay [-2VMWmrsv] [-d dev] [-l list] [-t num] filenames...

     xsplay [-2Vemrsv] [-d dev] [-l list] [-t num] filenames...

DESCRIPTION
     Splay is the sound file player such as MPEG-1,2 Audio files and Wave files.
     And  you  can  play  these files using list file. With pthread, it can play
     sound files smoother. And it has X-interface with libqt. Splay with qt  may
     make you splay easily.

OPTIONS
     Splay has several options.

     -2     play  MPEG-Audio files with half-frequency.  If you use this option,
	    you may play MPEG audio files with job which exhausts CPU very much.
     -e     exit when play is done. (xsplay)
     -m     force to mono.  Play with mono even if file have stereo quality.
     -r     Repeat forever. (Not X-interface) If you  -r  with	-s,  list  files
	    would be shuffled everytime.
     -s     Shuffle play. If you give list file or a number of files, Splay will
	    makes  them  rearranged randomly. And with -r Everytime the order of
	    files would be changed.
     -v     Verbose, Very verbose, Very very verbose. (Note: splay version  sup-
	    plied with mp3blaster does not have this feature anymore)
     -M     Play MPEG file as standard input.
     -W     Play Wave file as standard input.
     -V     Show version number.
     -t  num
	    num  of  frames  were  saved during playing. When CPU is so busy and
	    prevents splay from decoding,  splay  will	play  back  using  saved
	    frames. This feature makes you do other job freely with listing MPEG
	    music.
     -d  dev
	    Change  device  file. Default device file is /dev/dsp.  If you can't
	    use this device file or you can output raw type data  to  file,  you
	    can use this option.  If the first character of dev is / , dev would
	    be	considered  as device file, If the first character of dev is - ,
	    dev would be considered as standard output, otherwise dev  would  be
	    considered as normal file.
     -l  list
	    Select   list  file.   http://  can  be  used.  (e.g.  http://local-
	    host/abc.m3u)
     filenames
	    You can put several files, and use http:// If filename contains  .mp
	    or .MP, it will be considered as MPEG-Audio file.  Otherwise be con-
	    sidered  as  Wave file.  But if you use -l option, these will be ig-
	    nored.
