LinuxQuestions.org

This is the first "blog" of any kind I've ever had, so it's probably not the greatest...

Just a little snippet about me:

I'd like to consider myself relatively tech-savvy; obviously I use Linux (Arch to be precise; K.I.S.S. FTW), and I enjoy learning new things about computers in general (both software and hardware-related).

Code:

$ dd if=<whatever file here> of=<whatever output file here> bs=<1024/512>k skip=<# of MiB to skip through the file (or in increments of 0.5 MiB if you supplied 512k as the block size)> count=<MiB of content (or in increments of 0.5 MiB)>
$ play -q -t raw -s -b 16 -v 0.03125 -c 2 -r 48k <output file from dd>

...
