- --port number
- Explicitly select the port to test. Default is port 0 of
the card being tested.
- --toneid num
- Play a locale specific predefined tone, where 0 <= num
< VPB_TONE_ID_MAX. The locale is decided according to the value of the
VPB_COUNTRY environment variable.
- --tone n freq mag
- Set a single component for a user defined tone. This option
may be used more than once with different values of n to set the
components of a multi-frequency tone. Legal values for the other
parameters are 0 < freq <= 4000 (Hz), and -inf < mag < 0.0
(dB).
- --ontime ms
- The number of milliseconds that a user defined tone should
be on for.
- --offtime ms
- The number of milliseconds that a user defined tone should
be off for.
- --dial digits
- Generates a dial string using the specified dtmf

continuous tone has been specified.
- --recgain db
- Set software record gain in dB. Default is 0.0
- --rec file
- Record audio to a file while playing.
