This is a re-port of "Fredrik Wikstrom's" OS4 port of msxplugplay, by me.  

Additional stuff has been added to make it more suitable for future use
with playOGG.


Usage:

To play via AHI:-

msxplugplay ALERT.KSS

To save RAW data:-

msxplugplay -o ram:test.raw ALERT.KSS

Press Ctrl-C when you feel that you have enough RAW data.

For more options type:-

msxplugplay -h


See "http://homepage3.nifty.com/StudioBreeze/software/msxplugplay-e.html"
and "http://home.hccnet.nl/c.v.walta/index.html" for related interest.


Known issues:-
In theory the "-l 1" paramater option should make the program play the file
only once, but instead it has no effect and the file is infinately looped,
until Ctrl-C is pressed.


Any help on improving the usability of this program would be appreciated.
Such as:-

a. Fixing the infinate loop bug.

b. Adding an info option to obtain the projected file size and/or duration,
   for improved future use with playOGG.


Building tips:-

cd src/build
make

If you do a "make clean" dont forget to replace "getopt_long.o" in the
"src/build" directory.
