DESCRIPTION
Splay is the sound file player such as MPEG-1,2 Audio files. And you
can play these files using list file. With pthread, it can play sound
files smoother.
OPTIONS
Splay has several options.
-2 play MPEG-Audio files with half-frequency. If you use this
option, you may play MPEG audio files with job which exhausts
CPU very much.
-f display info on played and remaining frames and time.

-r Repeat forever. If you -r with -s, list files are shuffled
every time.

will rearrange them randomly. And with -r every time the order
of files is changed.

-M Play MPEG file from standard input.
-V Show version number.
-t num
num of frames were saved during playing. When CPU is so busy and
prevents splay from decoding, splay will play back using saved
frames. This feature lets you do other job freely while
listening to MPEG music.
-k num
num of frames are skipped at the start of playing.
-d dev
Change device file. Default device file is /dev/dsp. If you
can’t use this device file or you can output raw type data to
file, you can use this option. If the first character of dev is
/ , dev would be considered as device file, If the first
character of dev is - , dev would be considered as standard
output, otherwise dev would be considered as normal file.

http://localhost/abc.m3u)
filenames

these will be ignored.
