I'm on archlinux, pulseaudio is 4.0. There are no manpages for parecord, parec or paplay. If you do "paplay --help", it doesn't tell you it's purpose, like "this program plays files through pulseaudio". I wannted to know if I could use it as a drop-in replacement for aplay. I want to pipe audio to it like " ... | | paplay -p --format=s16le". But it doesn't say how to specify which file to play or how to specify stdin as source. Of course I tried the "-" at the end. But that doesn't work either. I'm writing this here, because I think that stuff belongs into a manpage or "--help"-text.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
