sound - sound player facility

### Calling Sequence

  `sound(y)`
  `sound(y,fs)`
  `sound(y,fs,bits)`

### Parameters

- `y` : real vector
- `fs` : real number, sampling frequency
- `bits` : real number, number of bits (usually 8 or 16)

### Description

`sound(y,fs)` sends the signal in vector y (with sample frequency fs) out to the speaker. Values in y are assumed to be in the range -1.0 <= y <= 1.0. Values outside that range are ugnored. Stereo sounds are played, on platforms that support it, when y is an N-by-2 matrix. `sound(y)` plays the sound at the default sample rate of 8192 Hz. `sound(y,fs,nbits)` plays the sound using nbits bits/sample if possible. Most platforms support bits=8 or 16.
