"madplay" is a command-line MPEG audio decoder and player based on the MAD
library (libmad). For details about MAD, see the libmad package
distributed separately.

After decoding, "madplay" sends the output to an audio output module. The
following audio output modules are provided:

- an Open Sound System interface module (for Linux, et al.)
- a Sun audio interface module (for Solaris, NetBSD, et al.)
- a Mac OS Carbon audio interface module (for Mac OS X)
- a Win32 audio interface module (for Windows 95/98/NT/2000, et al.)
- an ALSA audio interface module
- a QNX audio interface module
- an EsounD interface module
- a CD audio output module (*.cdr, *.cda)
- an Audio IFF output module (*.aif, *.aiff)
- a Microsoft RIFF/WAVE file output module (*.wav)
- a Sun/NeXT audio file output module (*.au, *.snd)
- a raw PCM output module
- a hex output module (for debugging and compliance testing)
- a null module (for timing the decoder)

"madplay" will also read and display ID3 tag information, and further
supports the relative volume adjustment information (RVA2) in such tags,
as written by tools like "normalize".
