## Scale the audio data @var{y} and play it at sample rate @var{fs} to the
## default audio device.
##
## The audio signal @var{y} can be a vector or a two-column array, representing
## mono or stereo audio, respectively.
##
## If @var{fs} is not given, a default sample rate of 8000 samples per second
## is used.
##
## The optional argument @var{nbits} specifies the bit depth to play to the
## audio device and defaults to 8 bits.
##
## By default, @var{y} is automatically normalized to the range [-1, 1].  If the
## range [@var{ymin}, @var{ymax}] is given, then elements of @var{y} that fall
## within the range @var{ymin} @leq{} @var{y} @leq{} @var{ymax} are scaled to
## the range [-1, 1] instead.
##
## For more control over audio playback, use the @code{audioplayer} class.
