Overview
Synaestheia is a program for representing audio graphically in real time using an attractive variety of visual effects. It reads sound data from input and displays the visual representation through svgalib, X or SDL.
While synaesthesia is running, moving the mouse over the window will expose a set of audio and other runtime controls.

-
--use-svga -
Force display via svgalib (i386 architecture only).
-
--use-x -

- input as
cd|line|esd| pipe frequency -
Audio source; this should be one of cd, line, esd, or pipe. When using a pipe source, the sample frequency (e.g. 44100) must be specified; synaesthesia will expect a 16-bit stereo PCM stream on standard input. The sound will be played to the audio device.
Examples
- synaesthesia esd
- synaesthesia cd
- synaesthesia line
- ogg123 -d raw -f - song.ogg | synaesthesia pipe 44100
