NAME
       auplay - play a sound file to a Network Audio System server

SYNOPSIS
       auplay [-audio servername] [-volume 0-100] [-i] [-I] [-l] files...

DESCRIPTION
       The auplay program can be used to play audio data stored in the .SND,
       .AU, or .WAV formats common on Sun workstations and PCs.  It is
       typically used from shell scripts or command line procedures.  If no
       filenames are given on the command line, audio data will be read fron
       stdin, unless the -l option is given.

OPTIONS
       The following options may be used with the auplay program:

       -audio servername
               This option specifies the Network Audio System server on which
               the files should be played.

       -volume 0-100
               This option specifies the volume at which the data should be
               played as a percentage of the maximum possible volume.  The
               default is 100 percent.

       -i      This option indicates that the header information associated
               with the sound data should be printed along with playing the
               data.

       -I      This option indicates that the header information associated
               with the sound data should be printed instead of playing the
               data.

       -l      This option indicates that a list of filenames is to be read
               from stdin.  auplay will play these files after playing any
               files given explicitly as command line arguments.
