EXAMPLES
     Example 1: Putting esd into Standby Mode

     example% esdctl standby

     Example 2: Ending Standby Mode

     example% esdctl resume

     Example 3: Loading a sample into the esd cache

     example% esdctl cache info.wav
     Sample <3> uploaded. Name = esdctl:info.wav

     This output indicates that the sample id is 3, and the  sam-
     ple name is esdctl:info.wav.

     Example 4: Getting a sample id from the esd cache

     example% esdctl getid esdctl:info.wav

     Example 5: Playing a sample from the esd cache

     example% esdctl play esdctl:info.wav

     Example 6: Playing and looping a sample

     example% esdctl loop esdctl:info.wav

     Example 7: Stopping a looped sample that is being played
