## usage: soundsc(x, fs, limit) or soundsc(x, fs, [ lo, hi ])
##
## soundsc(x)
##    Scale the signal so that [min(x), max(x)] -> [-1, 1], then 
##    play it through the speakers at 8000 Hz sampling rate.  The
##    signal has one column per channel.  
##
## soundsc(x,fs)
##    Scale the signal and play it at sampling rate fs.
##
## soundsc(x, fs, limit)
##    Scale the signal so that [-|limit|, |limit|] -> [-1, 1], then
##    play it at sampling rate fs.  If fs is empty, then the default
##    8000 Hz sampling rate is used.
##
## soundsc(x, fs, [ lo, hi ])
##    Scale the signal so that [lo, hi] -> [-1, 1], then play it
##    at sampling rate fs.  If fs is empty, then the default 8000 Hz
##    sampling rate is used.
##
## y=soundsc(...)
##    return the scaled waveform rather than play it.
##
## See sound for more information.
