.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
\fBxmp\fP is a tracked music module player\&. It plays many
module formats including Fasttracker II (XM), Noise/Fast/Protracker (MOD),
Scream Tracker 3 (S3M) and Impulse Tracker (IT)\&. Use \f(CWxmp --help\fP
for a complete list of supported formats\&.
.PP 
\fBxmp\fP can play through several output devices including the Open
Sound System sequencer, linear and ulaw PCM audio devices or mixing
to a raw or WAV file\&.
.PP 
.SH "OPTIONS" 
.IP "\fB-8, --8bit\fP" 
Convert 16 bit samples to 8 bit\&. You may want to use this mode to
save memory in the sound device (AWE cards will ignore this mode and
always work with 16 bit samples)\&.
.IP "\fB-b, --bits\fP \fIbits\fP" 
Set the software mixer resolution (8 or 16 bits)\&. If ommited,
The audio device will be opened at the highest resolution available\&.
.IP "\fB-c, --stdout\fP" 
Mix the module to stdout\&.
.IP "\fB--chorus\fP \fIdepth\fP" 
Set chorus depth (if available)\&.
.IP "\fB-D\fP \fIdevice-specific parameter\fP" 
Pass a configuration parameter to the device driver\&. See the
\fBDEVICE DRIVER PARAMETERS\fP section below for a
list of known parameters\&. 
.IP "\fB-d, --driver\fP \fIdriver\fP" 
Select the output driver\&. If not specified, \fBxmp\fP will try to
probe each available driver\&.
.IP "\fB--fix-sample-loop\fP" 
Force sample loop start in samples instead of 16-bit words\&. This
option affects only MOD files\&.
.IP "\fB-f, --frequency\fP \fIrate\fP" 
Set the software mixer sampling rate in hertz\&.
.IP "\fB-h, --help\fP" 
Show a short summary of command-line options\&.
.IP "\fB-i, --interpolate\fP" 
Enable software mixer linear interpolation\&.
.IP "\fB--load-only\fP" 
Exit after loading the module&.
.IP "\fB-l, --loop\fP" 
Enable module looping and backward pattern jumps\&.
.IP "\fB-M, --mute\fP \fIchannel-list\fP" 
Mute the specified channels\&. \fIchannel-list\fP is a comma-separated
list of decimal channel ranges\&. Example: 0,2-4,8-16\&.
.IP "\fB-m, --mono\fP" 
Force mono output (default is stereo in stereo-capable devices)\&.
.IP "\fB--nocmd\fP" 
Disable interactive commands\&.
.IP "\fB--nofilter\fP" 
Disable IT filters\&. When using the software mixer, IT filters can
significantly increase CPU usage on slow machines\&. In this case,
disable filtering with this option\&.
.IP "\fB-n, --nearest\fP" 
Enable software mixer nearest neighbor interpolation\&.
.IP "\fB--nopan\fP" 
Disable dynamic panning\&. This option can be used to prevent
clicking when playing in AWE32 cards\&. Module formats that rely only
in dynamic pan setting to produce stereo output (e\&.g\&. XM) will use
the MOD channel panning (LRRL)\&.
.IP "\fB--norc\fP" 
Don't read the configuration files\&.
.IP "\fB-o, --output-file\fP \fIfilename\fP" 
Set the output file name when mixing to raw or WAV files\&. If \'-\' is
given as the file name, the output will be sent to stdout\&.
.IP "\fB-P, --pan\fP \fInum\fP" 
Set the percentual panning amplitude\&.
.IP "\fB-l, --probe-only\fP" 
Exit after probing the audio device\&.
.IP "\fB-R, --random\fP" 
Play modules in random order\&.
.IP "\fB--realtime\fP" 
Play modules in realtime priority (available for FreeBSD)\&.
.IP "\fB-r, --reverse\fP" 
Reverse the left/right stereo channels\&.
.IP "\fB--reverb\fP \fIdepth\fP" 
Set reverb depth (if available)\&.
.IP "\fB-S, --solo\fP \fIchannel-list\fP" 
Play only the specified channels\&. \fIchannel-list\fP is a
comma-separated list of decimal channel ranges\&. Example: 0,2-4,8-16\&.
.IP "\fB-s, --start\fP \fIpos\fP" 
Start playing the module from the position \fIpos\fP\&.
.IP "\fB--stereo\fP" 
Force stereo output\&.
.IP "\fB-t, --tempo\fP \fIbpm\fP" 
Set the initial tempo in beats per minute (default is 125)\&.
.IP "\fB-t, --time\fP \fItime\fP" 
Specifies the maximum playing time to \fItime\fP seconds\&.
.IP "\fB-u, --unsigned\fP" 
Tell the software mixer to use unsigned samples when mixing to
a file (default is signed)\&.
.IP "\fB-V, --version\fP" 
Print version information\&.
.IP "\fB-v, --verbose\fP" 
Verbose mode (incremental)\&. If specified more than once, the
verbosity level will be increased (no messages will be displayed
when the player runs in background)\&.
.PP 
.SH "DEVICE DRIVER PARAMETERS" 
Use the option \fB-D\fP to send parameters directly to the device
drivers\&. Multiple \fB-D\fP options can be specified in the command line\&.
.PP 
OSS sequencer:
.IP "\fB-D\fP \fIawechorus=mode\fP" 
Set the chorus mode in AWE cards. Valid modes range from 0 to 7
(CHORUS_1, CHORUS_2, CHORUS_3, CHORUS_4, FEEDBACK, FLANGER,
SHORTDELAY, SHORTDELAY2)\&.
.IP "\fB-D\fP \fIawereverb=mode\fP" 
Set the reverb mode in AWE cards\&. Valid modes range from 0 to 7
(ROOM1, ROOM2, ROOM3, HALL1, HALL2, PLATE, DELAY, PANNINGDELAY)\&.
.IP "\fB-D\fP \fIopl2\fP" 
Open the sequencer in OPL2 FM mode instead of sample mode\&. This
parameter is required to play modules with FM instruments (RAD,
AMD, S3M)\&.
.IP "\fB-D\fP \fIdev=device_name\fP" 
Set the sequencer device to open\&. Default is /dev/sequencer\&.
.PP 
OSS software mixing:
.IP "\fB-D\fP \fIfrag=num,size\fP" 
Set the maximum number of fragments to \fInum\fP and the size of
each fragment to \fIsize\fP bytes (must be a power of two)\&.
The number and size of fragments set a tradeoff between the buffering
latency and sensibility to system load\&. To get better synchronization,
reduce the values\&. To avoid gaps in the sound playback, increase
the values\&.

speaker, \fIh\fP for headphones and \fIl\fP for line out\&. The default
is the internal speaker\&.
.IP "\fB-Dbuffer=\fP\fIsize\fP" 
Set the size in bytes of the audio buffer\&. The default value is 32 Kb\&.
