<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para><command>&dhpackage;</command> is a free command-line mp3 player,
which uses the mad audio decoding library. &dhpackage; is written to be a
drop-in replacement for the non-free <command>mpg123</command> player.
Some functions remain unimplemented, but &dhpackage; should function as a
basic drop-in replacement for <command>mpg123</command> front-ends such as
<command>gqmpeg</command>, and those programs which use mpg123 to decode
mp3 files (like <command>gtoaster</command>, and other CD-recording
software).</para>
<para><command>&dhpackage;</command> differs from <command>mpg123</command>
in several ways. First and foremost, it is fully Free, under the GNU General
Public License. Secondly, it allows run-time switching of output devices
(via the -o switch). (<command>&dhpackage;</command> also allows configuring
a default output device at compile-time, but run-time switching is always
allowed). </para>

<title>OPTIONS</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-o devicetype</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>Set the output device type to <option>devicetype</option>.
<option>devicetype</option> can be one of:</para>
<para>oss - the Linux Open Sound System;</para>
<para>sun - the Sun audio system;</para>
<para>alsa - the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture;</para>
<para>alsa09 - the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, version 0.9;</para>
<para>esd - the Enlightened Sound Daemon;</para>
<para>arts - the analog real-time synthesiser </para>
<para>See <option>-a device</option>, below.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-a device</option>, <option>--audiodevice device</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Use <option>device</option> for audio-out instead of the default device,
depending on the output device you've chosen (via <option>-o devicetype</option>).
By default this is the native sound device.
Generally this is the device for <option>devicetype</option>
(or the default system device) to use for output (i.e. <filename>/dev/sound/dsp1</filename>).
</para>
<para>This option has no effect with <option>-o arts</option>.</para>
<para>For <option>-o esd</option>, specify the host on which esd is running; defaults to localhost. </para>
<para>For <option>-o alsa</option>, specify card:device; defaults to 0:0.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-g N</option>, <option>--gain N</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>Set gain (volume) to N (1-100).</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-k N</option>, <option>--skip N</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>Skip N frames into the file being played.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-n N</option>, <option>--frames N</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>Decode only the first N frames of the stream. By default, the entire stream is decoded.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-@ list</option>, <option>--list list</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>Use the file list for a playlist. The list should be in a format of filenames followed by a line feed. Multiple -@ or --list specifiers will be ignored; only the last -@ or --list option will be used. The playlist is concatenated with filenames specified on the command-line to produce one master playlist. A filename of '-' will cause standard input to be read as a playlist.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-z</option>, <option>--shuffle</option></term>
<listitem><para>Shuffle playlists and files specified on the command-line. Produces a randomly-sorted playlist which is then played through once.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-Z</option>, <option>--random</option></term>
<listitem><para>Randomise playlists and files specified on the command-line. Files are played through, choosing at random; this means that random files will be played for as long as mpg321 is running.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-v</option>, <option>--verbose</option>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>Be more verbose. Show current byte, bytes remaining, time, and time remaining, as well as more information about the mp3 file.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-w N</option>, <option>--wav N</option>
</term>
<listitem><para>Write to wav file N instead of using the audio device. This option will be preferred if --cdr or --au are specified too. Specifying '-' for N will cause the file to be written to standard output.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--cdr N</option>
</term>
<listitem><para>Write to cdr file N instead of using the audio device. Specifying '-' for N will cause the file to be written to standard output.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--au N</option>
</term>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--stereo</option>
