[FFmpeg-user] run ffplay to test sidechaincompression

Is ffplay limited to 1 input? If so, how do you test sidechaincompression,
for example, using audio stream from a video to compress an audio file?

Using ffmpeg, I am running something like this:

ffmpeg -i render-0.wav -i temp.mp4 -y -filter_complex \
"[1:a]apad=141561[padded];[padded]asplit=2[sc][mix];\
[0:a][sc]sidechaincompress=ratio=3.0:threshold=0.01:knee=8:attack=600:release=1600[compr];\
[compr][mix]amerge[a]" -map 1:v -map [a] -c:v copy -b:a 128k test2.mp4

If I try running the above using ffplay, I get an error that the input,
render-0.wav has already been specified...

Argument 'temp.mp4' provided as input filename, but 'render-0.wav' was
already specified.

I've been using ffmpeg for some time now but just getting started playing
with ffplay.

Thanks
