NAME

       rplaydsp - intercept data bound for /dev/dsp and route it to rplayd

SYNOPSIS

       rplaydsp command [command arguments]

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.
