       The eessddssaammppllee utility plays a sample
       using the Enlighted  Sound  Daemon (eessdd).

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       The following options are supported:

       --ss _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e:_p_o_r_tContact
       the eessdd server on _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e
       at _p_o_r_t.



       --bb              Specify  that  the output should
       be in 8-bit format. By
                       default, the output is in 16-bit format.



       --dd              Play the sample from file  as
       raw  data.  The  default
                       behavior  is  to read the data from a
                       sound file (..wwaavv, ..aauu,
                       and so on). If this option is  chosen,
                       _s_a_m_p_l_e_n_a_m_e is the
                       name of a file.



       --ee              Play  the  sample from the eessdd
       cache. If this option is
                       chosen, _s_a_m_p_l_e_n_a_m_e
                       is the name of the  sample  in  the
                       cache.



       --hh              Display help text, and exit.



       --mm              Specify  that  the  output should
       be in mono format. By
                       default, the output is in stereo format.



       --rr _f_r_e_q         Specify that the output
       rate should be set to _f_r_e_q.  By
                       default, the output rate is set to
                       44.1 kHz.



OOPPEERRAANNDDSS
       The following operands are supported:

       _s_a_m_p_l_e_n_a_m_e      The  name of the
       sample to be played.  If the -ee option
                       is used, _s_a_m_p_l_e_n_a_m_e
                       is the eessdd
                       cache name.  Otherwise,
                       _s_a_m_p_l_e_n_a_m_e is
                       a filename.
