By default, the # generated files are suitable for writing to a test CD (using a # programme such as k3b). # # The audio files are created in the current directory and a list of # the files generated is also created. A description of each # generated file is sent to the console as the script executes. # # RATE (default 44100) is the sample-rate at which to generate the # test tones. Use 48000 to test a PC/work-station or DAT system. # # AUDIO_LENGTH (default 36) sets the length in seconds of (most of) # the test-tones. # # Other parameters can be changed in the Configuration section below. # Configuration: sox="../src/sox" # Where is sox?
