💖 gsound — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is gsound(1) from the gensio crew — it's a little tool for doing sound I/O using the sound gensio, and honestly? it's giving "tiny but mighty" ✨

✨ NAME ✨

gsound — the tool for doing sound I/O using the sound gensio 🎧

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gsound [-r|--rate num] [-n|--nbufs num] [-c|--channels num]
[-s|--bufsize num] [-t|--type num] [-f|--format str] [-p|--play]
[-L|--list-devs] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] <device> [<file>]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, the gsound program lets you record and play sound to/from the sound device you picked. The sound data goes to/from a file — or, and this is the fun part, stdio if you didn't give a file at all. no file? no problem, we're just vibing through standard I/O 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -r, --rate num — the sample rate, bestie. defaults to 44100 🎵
  • -n, --nbufs num — how many buffers we're working with. defaults to 4 🫶
  • -c, --channels num — the number of channels. defaults to 1 🌈
  • -s, --bufsize num — the number of buffer size, defaults to 2048 ✨
  • -t, --type num — the interface type. it's either alsa (Linux), win (Windows), portaudio (generally MacOS) or file. it defaults to alsa, win, or portaudio depending on what platform you're on 👑
  • -f, --format str — the I/O format. defaults to float. it may be one of double, float, int32, int24, int16, or int8 🔥
  • -p, --play — playback data from stdin. the default behavior is to record data to stdout, so this flips the vibe 🔁
  • -L, --list-devs — list available devices and then exit. window shopping, but for devices 💖
  • -d, --debug — enable debug. specify it more than once to increase the debug level (spam it, go off) 🔍
  • -h, --help — Help 🙈
