 Disable clipping check and normalization.
+.It Fl s Ar ratio
+Specifies a time stretch ratio to apply to the sample data.  This value
+can be used to adjust the playback speed of the file, to perform
+time-stretching operations.  Values greater than 1.0 increase the time
+and decrease the speed.  Values less than 1.0 decrease the time and
+increase the speed.
