PREV UP NEXT Tracker 4.44

4.5.3: DECstation

That port hasn't been upgraded for a loong time, so it will certainly need extensive surgery to work.

It uses a package called `AudioFile'. It is a public domain audio package available from DEC `crl.dec.com' aka 192.58.206.2, `/pub/DEC/AF'. the software will run on a number of platforms: Sun/NeXT/SGI/DEC. The `AF_audio.c' code sends the sound directly to the AudioFile server. There is but a slight problem! It Seg Faults when closing the Audio connection... dunno why, haven't been able to get rid of it! Uses 2 environment variables:

AUDIOFILE
the name of the audio server to connect to for mono playback. And for the Left Channel in stereo playback. eg. `"machine:0"'
AUDIORIGHT
the name of the audio server for the Right Channel when playing stereo.
This code is only tested for DEC 5000/20, 5000/25, Ultrix 4.2, Ultrix 4.3... so I can't vouch for how well it'll work on other machines!
