PLAYWAV(1)

💖 PLAYWAV(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Voicetronix Telephony Tools — this is the manual for playwav, and it's genuinely iconic, no cap 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

playwav — play an audio file to a Voicetronix hardware port 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

playwav [options] file

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so, the tea: playwav is that utility that sends audio data from a wav file straight to a port. That's it. That's the whole vibe. It takes your file and it plays it out the port, and honestly? Slay. 🔊✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

Here's the lineup, bestie — the following options are available:

• --card number — explicitly pick which card you wanna test. Default is card 0, periodt.
• --port number — explicitly pick which port you wanna test. Default is port 0 of the card you specified. 🫶
• --playgain db — set the playback gain. Turn it up, turn it down, your call.
• --recgain db — set the recording gain. Lowkey only useful if you're also using the --rec option, just saying.
• --dial digits — dial those given digits while the playback is happening. Main character energy 📞
• --ring — wait for the line to ring before playing. Only useful for FXO ports, iykyk.
• --rec outfile — record the incoming signal while playing. So useful for cut-through testing, fr fr 🎙️
• --loop — enable tx->rx loopback. Great for echo testing, but heads up: it's not supported for all hardware types. 💀
• --hostecho — enable the host based echo canceller. 🧚
