SUMMARY:

        PLANY input_file [-r speed] [-s] [-u] [-i irq] [-p port] [-v]

        input_file: Sound file name. Required
        -r:    set output rate (samples/sec)
        -s:    sample is signed
        -u:    sample is U_LAW
        -i:    IRQ. default from BLASTER variable, or 7
        -p:    port. default from BLASTER variable, or 544. (220h)
        -v:    verbose output


DESCRIPTION:

        PLANY will play any sound file through the SoundBlaster.
        Currently supported sound types:

                SoundBlaster .VOC
                Sun/NeXT/DEC .AU
                Windows .WAV
                Sounder/Soundtools .SND
                Amiga .8SVX  .IFF

        In addition, PLANY will attempt to detect and play the sound 
        samples contained in Amiga .MOD files.

        If PLANY is unable to identify the header of the sound file,
        it will default to 'unsigned' and '11000 samples/sec', unless
        changed by command line options.

        Press any key during playback to terminate output.
