Subject: speaker test: mention how to produce an continuous sound on a particular speaker
Date: Tue, 04 Jun 2019 18:25:28 +0800
Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.1.8-2
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/speaker-test.1.gz

Document how to make continuous sound on the front left speaker (while I check the
cords to find out where the break is.)

Best I could do:
while :; do speaker-test -c 2 -s 2; done
(To end: do ^Z then kill %)

Because: -p, -P documentation not clear and don't seem to affect much.
And -l says it can't be used with -s.
