RPLAYDSP(1)

πŸ’– RPLAYDSP(1) β€” the group chat manual πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to rplaydsp, straight out of the General Commands Manual ✨ this is the whole page, no skips, no gatekeeping, periodt.


🌸 NAME 🌸

rplaydsp β€” intercept data bound for /dev/dsp and route it to rplayd


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

rplaydsp command [command arguments]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so the whole vibe here: rplaydsp lets sound tools talk to rplayd even when those tools were never coded to do that 😭 it's giving matchmaker, it's giving translator, it's giving main character energy fr fr.

Any program that writes data to /dev/dsp should just work with rplaydsp. no cap. πŸ’…

The following environment variables can be used to modify the default behavior of rplaydsp πŸ‘‡

  • RPLAY_HOST β€” by default, rplaydsp talks to the local rplayd. but bestie, if you need the output to go <em>somewhere else</em> entirely, set RPLAY_HOST to the remote hostname or ip address 🌍
  • DEVRPLAY_SOUND β€” sounds can be named under rplayd, and the default name used by rplaydsp is devrplay. use this variable to control the name of the sound 🎡
  • DEVRPLAY_INFO β€” if your sound isn't the "standard" wav format and speed, you can set this variable so that rplayd can grok the sound 🧠✨ an example value for a .au file is:
input-info=ulinear8,8000,1,1,little-endian
  • DEVRPLAY_OPTS β€” set this variable to pass a generic set of RPTP options to rplayd πŸŽ›οΈ
