[sc-users] [linux] playing wave-files

[Sciss]

since i think on linux you have to install libsndfile separately  
before building SC3, you should have the info program that you can  
try to see if libsndfile likes your soundfile. the command line tool  
is called 'sndfile-info' and should reside in the 'examples' folder  
of libsndfile:

$ sndfile-info <pathToTheSoundFile>

ciao, -sciss-
