16. Play a segment



You can play a segment by using the "Play segment" in the "Marks" menu.

Some machines (Alphas and X terminals with audio capabilities), have and audio server on which the sound is played by setting the environment variables AUDIOFILE and APLAY_DEVICE. You set it by typing

setenv AUDIOFILE the-console-name:0.0

setenv APLAY_DEVICE 1

Note : take care NOT to type setenv $AUDIOFILE instead of setenv AUDIOFILE, or $APLAY_DEVICE instead of setenv APLAY_DEVICE.


You can check the environment variable AUDIOFILE by typing :

echo $AUDIOFILE

which should answer

the-console-name:0.0
