that does work, then why doesn't this work?
./a.out | sox -r 8000 -c 1 -t u8 - -d
doesn't work
but if uint8_t is changed to int, it works well..
also in sox sounds sounds different compared to say mpv, cannot decide which
is better because I cannot seek forward in sox's play?
can you make music with sox/play alone? you can make guitar sounds with play,
maybe can also somehow write a whole song only in CLI?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv) {
uint8_t t = 0;
for (t=0;;t++)
putchar(t*((t>>12|t>>8)&63&t>>4));
}
