I need to play aiff files from a certain
start time within the file, and i would
greatly prefer a command-line app which
can output raw 16-bit integer output to stdout
because i have a framework for quickly
adding command-line decoders.

Compiling libaudiofile and libsndfile,
the file play utilities (named sfplay in
both packages) support only a subset of
formats and don't support starting within
a file. the "sfconvert"s didn't have the
output to stdout.

libsoundfile doesn't seem to include a playback
utility.

looking at apps, none of bplay, ecaplay, aplay,
or sox is sufficient. the most common problem
is not allowing playback starting at some point
within the file.

did i miss a utility which fits my needs?
ideally one which supports .voc and other
common miscellaneous formats which i'll
also want to handle at some point?

if nothing exists i'll probably extend
libaudiofile's sfplay to support a full range
of formats and starting within a file.
