PROGRAM:
NAME
daisy-player - player for DAISY Digital Talking Books or Audio-CD's
SYNOPSIS
daisy-player [directory_with_a_Daisy-structure |
Daisy_book_archive] [-c cdrom_device] [-d ALSA_sound_device] [-i]
[-n | -y]
DESCRIPTION
Daisy-player reads a Daisy-CD and plays the audio-files. DAISY versions 2.02 and 3 are
currently supported, as well as volumes with multiple books.
Daisy-player also can play Audio-CD's and tries to get CD-information from a cddb-
database.
A list of items on the Daisy-CD or Audio-CD will appear. Press <ENTER> to start playing.
When reading of an item has finished, daisy-player will play the next item and the cursor
will automatically skip to that item, so that an attached braille-terminal will display
the name of that item.
OPTIONS
directory_with_a_Daisy-structure
One could also give a directory with a daisy structure as argument to daisy-player.
Daisy_book_in_ZIP_format

device. The default is /dev/sr0.

SCREEN
The name and version of this program and the name of the author will be displayed left
aligned at the top of the screen. The name of the current loaded book will be displayed
right aligned.
The second row of the screen will display the number of pages of the current loaded book
(if any), the current selected level and the total number of levels, the total playing
time, the current displayed screen and the total number of screens.
The next rows will display the title of the item, the first page of the item within
brackets (if there are pages) and the playing time. Items in higher levels will be
indented. (Three spaces each level.) When "just playing this item" is active, a "J" will
be viewed at the first column of that item.

NOTES
Daisy-player uses the sox-library and the ALSA sound-driver for audio-output. On some
systems daisy-player quits with the message that the soundcard cannot be used. I don't
know how to solve this problem yet, sorry.
When playing an Audio-CD skip-left and skip-right react a little late. The same for
commands like 'U', 'D' and HOME.
