.TH RPLAYDSP 1 2000/05/02
.SH NAME
rplaydsp \- intercept data bound for /dev/dsp and route it to rplayd
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rplaydsp command [command arguments]
.SH DESCRIPTION
rplaydsp allows sound tools to interact with rplayd without having been
coded to do so.  Any program that writes data to /dev/dsp should work with
rplaydsp.

The following environment variables can be used to modify the default
behavior of rplaydsp.

RPLAY_HOST: By default, rplaydsp talks to the local rplayd.  If you need
the output to go somewhere else, then set RPLAY_HOST to the remote
hostname or ip address.

DEVRPLAY_SOUND: Sounds can be named under rplayd, the default name used by
rplaydsp is 'devrplay'.  Use this variable to control the name of the
sound.

DEVRPLAY_INFO: If your sound isn't the "standard" wav format and speed,
you can set this variable so that rplayd grok the sound.  An example value
for a .au file is:
  input-info=ulinear8,8000,1,1,little-endian

DEVRPLAY_OPTS: Set this variable to pass a generic set of RPTP options to
rplayd.
