NAME
synaesthesia - visual sound display
SYNOPSIS
synaesthesia [--use-sdl] [--use-x] [--use-svga] [--fullscreen] [--width
w] [--height h] input
DESCRIPTION
Synaestheia is a program for representing audio graphically in real
time using an attractive variety of visual effects. It reads sound
data from input and displays the visual representation through svgalib,
X or SDL.
While synaesthesia is running, moving the mouse over the window will
expose a set of audio and other runtime controls.
--use-sdl
Force display via SDL.
--use-svga
Force display via svgalib (i386 architecture only).
--use-x
Force display via X.
--fullscreen
Attempt a full-screen display (requires a fast machine).
--width w
Specify a width for the window.
--height h
Specify a height for the window.
input as cd | line | esd | pipe frequency
Audio source; this should be one of cd, line, esd, or pipe.
When using a pipe source, the sample frequency (e.g. 44100)
must be specified; synaesthesia will expect a 16-bit stereo PCM
stream on standard input. The sound will be played to the audio
device.
EXAMPLES
synaesthesia esd
synaesthesia cd
synaesthesia line
ogg123 -d raw -f - song.ogg | synaesthesia pipe 44100
