NAME sdtaudio - Audio player for CDE SYNOPSIS sdtaudio [ -d ] [ -p ] [ -r ] [ -w ] [ -h ] [ -h or -? ] [ audiofile ] DESCRIPTION Sdtaudio is an interactive audio player that can be used to play audio files, as well as record audio samples. The tool supports playback and recording of Sun audio (AU), PC audio (WAV), and Macintosh audio (AIFF) files, and allows one to convert from one audio format to another. OPTIONS -d Use the specified audio device. -p Plays the specified audio file on startup. -r Starts recording audio on startup. -w Starts automatically in wave view. -h or ? Prints out valid command line options. USAGE The three menu buttons across the top of the main window are described below: File The File menu contains the following items. New Resets the tool to its initial state, closing any open audio file, so that one can initiate a new recording. If a recorded sample has not been saved, one will be prompted whether to save or dis- card the audio file before proceeding with the reset. Open... Brings up a dialog which allows one to select a file that is to be opened for playback. Any open audio file is closed prior to loading a new file. If a recorded sample has not been saved, one will be prompted to save or discard the audio file before opening the new file. Save As... Brings up a dialog which allows one to specify the file name and the audio file type of the file that is to be saved. Get Info... Brings up a dialog that displays infor- mation about the current audio file, such as audio length (in seconds) and sampling rate (in kHz). Exit Terminates the application. Options The Options menu contains the following items. Startup... Brings up the audio options dialog and displays the Startup pane, which allows one to specify the preferred view on startup. Play... Brings up the audio options dialog and displays the Play pane, which allows one to specify play options (such as volume) when playing an audio file. Record... Brings up the audio options dialog and displays the Record pane, which allows one to specify record options (such as volume) when recording an audio sample. Devices... Brings up the audio options dialog and displays the Devices pane, which allows one to specify audio input and output devices. Support of various input and output devices such as microphones, speakers, and headphones are dependent on one's hardware configuration. Help Standard help menu. The main window consists of various controls that allow one to manipulate audio files, the user interface, and the audio devices. The first set of buttons allows one to play an audio file, rewind to the beginning of an audio file, advance to the end of an audio file, and start recording an audio sample. A recording indicator light beside the record button flashes during recording. Below the main buttons is a slider that allows one to set the play point where audio will start playback. During playback, this slider dyanmically moves to give the user location information as the file is played. The mute button beside the recording indicator light tem- porarily toggles the audio output device so that no sound emanates from the output device. Beside the mute button are a volume indicator and a set of buttons that allow one to increase or decrease the volume of the audio output device. The wave button below the mute button toggles the tool's interface from standard view to wave view. In wave view, the audio file is represented as a wave form. While in wave view, one can set the play point by clicking on a particular location in the wave form. The play point cursor is set to the specified location, and, like its slider counter part in the standard view, dynamically moves to give the user loca- tion information as the file is played. If tooltip display is enabled then tooltip labels are asso- ciated with the afore mentioned buttons. A tooltip label describes the functionality of a button in a few words. If tooltip display is disabled then the associated information that would have been displayed via a tooltip label is displayed using the status bar. The user may drag a file from another application such as dtfile(1) and drop it into the audio window (standard or wave view). This causes the file to be loaded into sdtau- dio. By default sdtaudio opens the audio device and audio control device specified in audio(7I). The -d option is used to specify an alternate audio device. If the -d option is not used and the AUDIODEV environment variable has been defined, the audio device will be set to the value of AUDIODEV. If either -d or AUDIODEV is used to specify an alternate audio device, the name of the audio control device will be deter- mined by appending a suffix onto the audio device name according to the convention adopted in audio(7I). RESOURCES On startup, sdtaudio will use the following X resources which are stored in $HOME/.dt/sessions/Sdtaudio. Note these resource names will be prepended with sdtaudio. Resource: defaultRecordVolume Values: 0 through 100 Description: Sets the recording volume of the audio input device. Resource: defaultPlayVolume Values: 0 through 100 Description: Sets the playback volume of the audio output device. Resource: autoPlayOnOpen Values: True, False Description: Automatically plays the audio file when opened. Resource: showWave Values: False, True Description: Automatically starts in wave view.
