## playbacktest.py
##
## This is an example of a simple sound playback script.
##
## The script opens an ALSA pcm for sound playback. Set
## various attributes of the device. It then reads data
## from stdin and writes it to the device.
##
## To test it out do the following:
## python recordtest.py out.raw # talk to the microphone
## python playbacktest.py out.raw
