#### 16.3.57 play

Command: play file | tempo [pitch1 duration1] [pitch2 duration2] … ¶

  Plays a tune

  If the argument is a file name (see How to specify files), play the tune recorded in it. The file format is first the tempo as an unsigned 32bit little-endian number, then pairs of unsigned 16bit little-endian numbers for pitch and duration pairs.

  If the arguments are a series of numbers, play the inline tune.

  The tempo is the base for all note durations. 60 gives a 1-second base, 120 gives a half-second base, etc. Pitches are Hz. Set pitch to 0 to produce a rest.
