    <CsOptions>
    ; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
    -odac     ;;;realtime audio out
    ;-iadc    ;;;uncomment -iadc if realtime audio input is needed too

    <CsInstruments>

    sr = 44100
    ksmps = 32
    nchnls = 2
    0dbfs = 1

    instr 1
    Sfile     strget    p4
    ivld      filevalid Sfile

    if ivld>0 then
    asig      diskin2   Sfile, 1
              outs      asig, asig
    else
              printf_i  "Audiofile '%s' does not exist!\n", 1, Sfile
    endif
    endin

    </CsInstruments>
    <CsScore>

    i 1 0 3 "frox.wav";file does not exist!!!
    i 1 + 3 "fox.wav" ;but this one certainly does...

    e
    </CsScore>
    </CsoundSynthesizer>
