Short: Multi-Format Sampled Sound Player, v1.231
TITLE
OmniPlay - A multi-format sound player for AmigaDOS
VERSION
1.231, 31 Jan 1993
DESCRIPTION
OmniPlay plays samples sounds from a variety of sound file
formats, including IFF-8SVX, AIFF, WAV, VOC, .au, .snd,
and 8-bit raw (signed, unsigned, u-law). In addition,
PowerPacked sounds can be played if you have v34+ of
powerpacker.library installed.
OmniPlay determines the type of sound it's dealing with
automagically, so the minimum command is "oplay somesound".
This works on *any* file, although raw files might sound
better if you specify a rate.
Options control rate, volume, output audio channel, wait-time
between sounds, process priority, printing of sound properties
(such as IFF NAME, AUTH, etc.), and more. Options are
sequenced, not pre-scanned, so two files can have different
option sets. One option even writes the audio data played
into an IFF-8SVX file, so technically oplay is a converter as
well as a player.
REQUIREMENTS
A sampled sound file. If you wish to PowerPack sounds, you
should have powerpacker.library (not included) in your libs:
directory.
CHANGES
(since v1.231)
- Memory deallocation bug fixed; all memory is now returned.
- '-w' option fixed; timeout is measured in 1/50 seconds.
- '-R' option added. Allows sounds to be played any number of
times in succession.
- Documentation rewritten in AmigaGuide format.
