Quick facts about Quite OK Audio format (qoaformat.org):
* Lossy, time-domain compression, 16 bits.
* Quality comparable to MP3 @ 160 kbps.
* 5:1 fixed compression ratio.
* 44.1 kHz stereo streams decode in realtime on 68030 @ 25 MHz.

QoaPlay replays QOA files (mono and stereo, multichannel
is not supported), using audio.device in 8-bit quality.

Files with sampling rates above 27 kHz will be automatically
decimated to half of the frequency. It ensuses proper playback
regardless of current graphics mode of the Amiga chipset.

Users running their Amigas in doublescan modes (DblPAL, DblNTSC,
Multiscan) or using graphics cards with tool or setting switching
the chipset to doublescan mode, may disable frequency halving
with DBLSCAN argument.

Usage: QoaPlay <QOA file> [DBLSCAN]

Playback can be stopped with standard CTRL+C keycombo.
