WAV Audio Test

This is a test sound . If you can not play it, you need to install a player:

• UNIX:

  add the following viewer entry to your mailcap file:
  

  audio/x-wav; xplay   %s
  

  where xplay is one of many WAV audio players.
  You may quickly get a copy of xplay-0.7.tar.Z for Sun systems. Not that this copy may not be as recent as the previous reference however. SGI users can use sfplay/sfconvert, the system sound utilities, to play WAV files. A script file, called playwav is available.

  For Solaris users, this tip comes from Nigel Badnell:

  When using xplay with Solaris, users will need a little more detail in their mailcap file:

  audio/x-wav; xplay  -; stream-buffer-size=8000   %s
  

  
  
  
  
  

• PCs:

  To set up the WAV player, enter the following into the HelperApplication or ExternalViewer dialog box in your Web Browser:
  
  

  MIME type / subtype	audio/x-wav
  extensions	wav
  application	wplany

  where wplany or wham are some of the many WAV sound players.
  
  You may quickly get a copy of wplny12a.zip or wham133.zip for Windows. Note that these copies may not be as recent as the previous references however.

  Note that you may need to supply the complete path to the application. Also, some browsers need a '.' preceeding the extensions entry.
  
  
  

• Mac:

  To set up the WAV player, enter the following into the HelperApplication or ExternalViewer dialog box in your Web Browser:
  
  

  MIME type / subtype	audio/x-wav
  extensions	wav
  application	soundapp

  There are several Mac based WAV audio players available from nctuccca.edu.tw. You may quickly get a copy of soundapp1.5.cpt.hqx for the Macintosh. Note that this copy may not be as recent as the previous reference however.

  Note that you will use the Browse button to find the location the application on your disk. Also, some browsers need a '.' preceeding the extensions entry.
