the iconic little command that goes brrr and makes your speakers do the thing 🎶

NAME 🎀

sndfile-play — play a sound file 💖

SYNOPSIS 🌸

sndfile-play file ...

okay so bestie, you literally just hand it one or more files and it plays them. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

DESCRIPTION 💅

sndfile-play plays one or more sound files on all kinds of operating systems, and it does it using whatever standard audio output API that system has going on. no cap, it's out here adapting to every platform like the main character it is. 👑

here's the rundown of which audio API gets used where — every single one, fr fr:

• Linux — ALSA or OSS
• OpenBSD — sndio
• FreeBSD — /dev/dsp (OSS)
• NetBSD — /dev/audio
• Solaris — /dev/audio
• MacOSX 10.6 — CoreAudio
• MacOSX 10.7 — AudioToolbox
• Win32 — waveOut

not it switching APIs by OS version like it's picking outfits for different occasions 😭 MacOSX 10.6 said CoreAudio and 10.7 said actually no, AudioToolbox. slay. ✨
