Solaris 10 10/09 Release Notes

Some audiorecord and audioplay Application Switches

The -p and -b switches to both the audiorecord and audioplay applications, as well as the -m switch to audiorecord might be removed in a future Solaris release.

If a filename is not specified on the command line and standard input and output is not a tty, both these applications will exit with an error. Any changes to audio volume settings made by these applications are not persistent from one instance to the next. Users wishing to adjust the settings of their audio devices should migrate to the mixerctl(1) and gnome-volume-control(1) applications.
