Name
xplay - A Motif AF play client.

Synopsis
xplay [ options ]

Description

An AF client that plays sound files. The interface looks somewhat like a tape deck, with buttons for Rewind, Stop, Play, Pause, and FastForward. A slider underneath the buttons show the approximate amount of the current sound file that has been played. You may drag the slider to play a different part of the sound file, this is especially useful when playing portions of very large sound files.

The File pull-down menu has two options: Open and Quit. Quit does the obvious, and Open brings up a File Selection Box that allows you to select a new sound file to listen to.

Bugs
Giving a null filename in FSB popup loses. Giving a sound file as only argument to xplay dumps core. Rewinding past the beginning of a sound file loses. The scale widget complains when reading a sound file from stdin.
