<!-- Process this file with docbook-to-man to generate an nroff manual
     page: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml > manpage.1'.  You may view
     the manual page with: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml | nroff -man |
     less'.  A typical entry in a Makefile or Makefile.am is:

manpage.1: manpage.sgml

        The docbook-to-man binary is found in the docbook-to-man package.
        Please remember that if you create the nroff version in one of the
        debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need to include
        docbook-to-man in your Build-Depends control field.

    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> attempts to tap the beat and detect

    (<option>-i</option>), aubiotrack print the beat locations in second
    detected in the file.</para>
    
    <para>When started without an input file argument
    (<option>--input</option>), <command>&dhpackage;</command> creates jack
    input and output ports. When an input file is given, the results are given
