hi folks.


i (and others) have added a few features and fixed a few bugs in both
audioplay and audiorecord recently.  this is mostly a heads-up incase
you start to notice weirdness.  new bits include:

audioplay:
	- working "cat foo.au | audioplay -f" again (thanks ross)
	- flush the audio buffer on signals, so that ^C exits much
	sooner (doesn't wait for the buffer to drain)

audiorecord:
	- support for RIFF/WAVE output files (.wav), new "-F <format>"
	option to choose between sun (default), wav and none
	- support for converting non-signed non-big-endian Sun 16 or
	32 bit PCM samples to signed big-endian samples
	- support for converting non-signed non-little-endian WAVE/RIFF
	PCM samples to signed little-endian samples
	- Sun samples are *signed*; the old version used to output
	unsigned samples


please report any weirdness you may see with send-pr(1)!


thanks,
