This manual page briefly documents the
play and rec
commands.
play
and
rec
are programs that allow you to play and record different types of sound files
from the command line. They are front ends to the more general
sox(1)
package. Normally, the play command will automatically detect the
type and other parameters of the soundfile. If it can't do
so, the parameters can be changed through options.
