DESCRIPTION
       The esdsample utility plays a sample using the Enlighted	 Sound	Daemon
       (esd).

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -s hostname:portContact the esd server on hostname at port.

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

       -d	       Play the sample from file  as  raw  data.  The  default
		       behavior	 is  to read the data from a sound file (.wav,
		       .au, and so on). If this option is  chosen,  samplename
		       is the name of a file.

       -e	       Play  the  sample from the esd cache. If this option is
		       chosen, samplename  is the name of the  sample  in  the
		       cache.

       -h	       Display help text, and exit.

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

       -r freq	       Specify that the output rate should be set to freq.  By
		       default, the output rate is set to 44.1 kHz.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       samplename      The  name of the sample to be played.  If the -e option
		       is used, samplename is the esd  cache name.  Otherwise,
		       samplename is a filename.
