play: Play the given audio at twice the speed.
$ play ${audiofile} speed 2.0
try on your machine

This command is instructing a program or system to play an audio file at a speed of 2.0 times the normal rate.

The exact behavior of this command depends on the specific program or system being used. However, in general, it means that the audio file will be played back at double the speed it was originally recorded at. This can result in the audio sounding faster and potentially higher in pitch.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
