alsa-project/alsa-utils issue #219 was opened from jidanni:
$ speaker-test --nloops 1
makes a pink noise for about one second.
On the man page mention how to make this into say a half second,
as some users would like to listen to shorter test sounds,
and no matter if the user does
```
$ speaker-test --device hdmi:HDMI -c 2 --nloops 1 --period 5
$ speaker-test --device hdmi:HDMI -c 2 --nloops 1 --period 50
$ speaker-test --device hdmi:HDMI -c 2 --nloops 1 --period 500
$ speaker-test --device hdmi:HDMI -c 2 --nloops 1 --period 5000
```
what the user hears is exactly the same, therefore --period is not what
controls this item.
I am saying that some users can confirm their speakers work without
listing to a full second of pink noise, and thus would like a way to
listen to a shorter length.
As far as
```
-b | --buffer TIME
Use buffer size of TIME microseconds. When 0 is given, use the
maximal buffer size. The default value is 0.
-p | --period TIME
Use period size of TIME microseconds. When 0 is given, the pe‐
riods given by -P option is used. The default value is 0.
```
are concerned, they must be documenting something completely different.
