Description-en: Buffered audio file player/recorder
The bplay package provides a simple command-line utility for playing
and recording audio files in raw sample, VOC and WAV formats.
.
To use this program you need a soundcard of some kind and the
appropriate driver configured into your kernel.
.
When run the program creates two processes which share a memory
buffer. It does reading/writing on the disk and the sound device
simultaneously, in order to be less liable to `pause' because the
disk is too slow or too busy.
