#205 Feature request - default audio device

[Mike]

I've been beating my head again the wall for several days trying to get around the message
"sox FAIL sox: Sorry, there is no default audio device configured."

How about a --help-configuration option tht displays all the defined audio devices
and their capabilities?

Calarification:
version 14.4.2 running on Win7Pro32, and I'm trying to play an audio file.
It can't find the speakers.

Same problem here, w7 x64 it fails even manually specifying Sound Card's name, or any soundcard number (i have two audio cards) ie: sox infile −t waveaudio 2

On Windows, to get access to the audio device you need to have said
set AUDIODRIVER=waveaudio
before launching SoX, or use sox foo.mp3 -t waveaudio -d

Just saying sox should list, in one of the final paragraphs, AUDIO DEVICE DRIVERS, the audio drivers that are available.

To select a particular audio device as the default one if you have several, you can
set AUDIODEV=blablabla
though I don't know what blablabla should be for waveaudio devices.

As for something to list the available audio devices, that is a good idea
