    Expects type of SPFLOAT, which by default is a float. If the input data is larger than the number of samples, you will get a complaint about a broken pipe (but it will still work). If there is no input data from STDIN, it will hang.




The expected use case of sp_in is to utilize pipes from the commandline, like so:




cat /dev/urandom | ./my_program




Assuming my_program is using sp_in, this will write /dev/urandom (essentially white noise) to an audio file.
