================================= Purpose =================================
===========================================================================
It's  not  quite  that easy to get audio.device to do what it's supposed to
do.   This  program is the result of my efforts to create a tool to play an
IFF-8SVX  sound  on  two stereo channels using iffparse.library for reading
and  playing the sound directly off the disk, i.e.  to play the sound while
reading it.

================================== Usage ==================================
===========================================================================
The  program  supports  both  Shell  and  Workbench  invocation.  Workbench
invocation  is  easy:   select  the  sound files you wish to be played then
double-click on the `PlaySound' icon.
            If running from Shell, two arguments are accepted:

Pattern................ The  name  of  the  file to be played or a standard
                        AmigaDOS   wildcard   expression  to  be  used  for
                        collecting files to be played.

Buffer................. The  replay buffer size to be used when reading the
                        sound  file.   Usually,  the default buffer size of
                        5000 bytes will do, but slower or faster data media
                        may want you to change this value.
