Very neat. I rebuilt my system just for this, and they work like a charm.
The only defect I've noted is that the end of each wav is cut off if I
play a bunch in a row, like "audioplay *.wav". I'm randomly guessing that
it finishes feeding each file into /dev/audio and then begins the next,
which starts feeding in before the previous has finished playing and which
takes precedence. I have no clue what the fix would be. It doesn't really
warrant a PR, IMHO, although I'll send one if it's desireable.
Anyway, that's all irrelevant. The relevant bit is that we have a nifty
new toy to play with. Thank you. :) I've already got Netscape switched
over to use audioplay, and I've removed rplayd from my startup. :)
Later...
