AUTHOR

Arun Chandra <arunc@evergreen.edu> This program uses PortAudio 18.1, a freely available set of programs whose main authors are Ross Bencina and Phil Burk, to handle the low-level work of communicating with the hardware. I wrote the code for opening and closing the soundfiles, and for feeding the data to the PortAudio routines.

sfplay is free software, as is PortAudio.
