A sound player module is not depend on native extension for node.

This is simple multi platform sound player. I get ideas from opener.
This module should be used when to play simple sound or sound effect. Not suitable for music players.
npm install simplayer -g
# if you want to use in node
npm install simplayer --save
If platform is linux, then need to install the alsa
# before we start the work, please update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
# install ALSA
sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils
Simplayer function return child process instance.
var simplayer = require('simplayer');
var musicProcess = simplayer('/path/to/sound.mp3');
var musicProcess = simplayer('path/to/song.mp3', function (error) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log('end of song!');
});
If platform is windows, then support wav file only.
var musicProcess = simplayer('C:\\path\\to\\sound.wav');
// or
var musicProcess = simplayer('C:/path/to/sound.wav');
If handle to close event, Please, in the following manner.
var simplayer = require('simplayer');
var musicProcess = simplayer('/path/to/sound.mp3');
musicProcess.on('close', function(code) {
console.log('child process exited with code ' + code);
});
Use in the following manner in command line.
simplayer /path/to/sample.mp3
