DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly the play and rec com­
       mand.

       play and rec are programs that  allows  you  to  play  and
       record different types of sound files. It is a frontend to
       the more general sox package. Normally  the  play  command

       file. If it can't do so, the  parameters  can  be  changed
       through options.
