Short: Multi-Format Sampled Sound Player, v1.231 Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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.
