The
.Nm
command displays or sets various audio system driver variables.
If a list of variables is present on the command line,
.Nm
prints the current value of those variables for the specified device.
By default,
.Nm
operates on the
.Pa /dev/audioctl
device.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl a
Print all device variables and their current values.
.It Fl w Ar name=value
Attempt to set the specified variable
.Ar name
to
.Ar value .

.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
To set the playing sampling rate to 11025 you can enter
.Pp
.Dl $ audioctl -w play.sample_rate=11025
.Pp

are reset when the device is opened.
This can be circumvented like so:
.Pp
.Dl $ (cat file.au; audioctl -f /dev/stdout -a) > /dev/audio
or
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
$ (audioctl -f /dev/stdout -w blocksize=1024; cat file.au) \e
