ossplay  plays  raw  PCM, Microsoft RIFF (.wav), Sun ULaw (.au), Mac AIFF (.aif) and other types of audio
       files. By default the application will try to determine the audio file's format and play audio  based  on
       the stored information about sample format, number of channels and sampling rate.

/usr/bin/ossplay

       Sending a SIGQUIT (Ctrl-\ in most terminals) will make ossplay stop playing the currently played file and
       skip to the next file.

ossplay - Open Sound System playback program.

       The ossplay executable is the same as the ossrecord executable.  Behaviour is decided by the name used to
       invoke the program.

-v     Verbose output. Multiple invocations increase the level of verbosity.

       -q     Quiet (no information printed).

       -l     Loop playback indefinitely.

       -d<devname>
              Select <devname> as the device (eg -d/dev/dsp2).

       -s<rate>
              Select the playback rate for raw PCM audio (eg -s48000).

       -c<channels
              Select the number of channels 1=mono 2=stereo, 4, 6, 8, etc.

       -f<fmtname>
              Select the input format (eg -fU8 or -fS16_BE).

       -f?    Prints the list of supported format names.

       -o<playtarget>
              Selects  the  play  target name if the device supports multiple play targets (such as front, rear,
              side).

       -o?    Prints the list of available play targets.

       -g<gain>
              Amplify all played samples by percentage given as argument.  100  (default)  means  normal  signal
              level, 200 means double level.

       -W     Treat all input as raw PCM data.

       -R     Disable  redirection  to  virtual  mixer engines and sample rate/format conversions. Should not be
              used unless absolutely necessary.

       -S<secs>
              Start playing at <secs> seconds from start of file.  The argument can contain  a  fractional  part
              (e.g. -S1.2)

       -h     Display usage information.
