man alsaplayer (Commandes) - plays various sound files

NAME

alsaplayer - plays various sound files

SYNOPSIS

alsaplayer [options] [ filename ...]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the alsaplayer command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

alsaplayer is a generic music player that can play back a large amount of file formats.

If files are specified on the command line, these files are played. Otherwise alsaplayer plays its playlist from its last run, if any.
