31 __play__ and __rec__ are programs that allow you to
32 play and record different types of sound files from the
33 command line. They are front ends to the more general
34 __sox(1)__ package. Normally, the play command will
35 automatically detect the type and other parameters of the
36 soundfile. If it can't do so, the parameters can be changed
37 through options. The play command can be used for playing
38 pack several files, in this case the options regarding the
39 format apply to every file played.
