In addition there is an unsorted collection +of many kind of programming experiments. Some of them don't even work. + +We have released these sources just because there is no reason to not to +release them. We hope that somebody finds them interesting. + +There is no documentation available for these sources at this moment. They +will be officially released at the some time with OSS 4.0. Most of the files +are created to test recent OSS versions os they will not work with older +implementations such as the kernel freeware OSS drivers (OSS/Free) or +ALSA. + +Some of these programs do things that are not necessary in majority of +OSS applications. Please refers to the OSS Programmer's Guide for +proper usage of the API (http://www.opensound.com/pguide). + +Most programs have been written by 4Front Technologies but some of the +oldest ones have different origins. + +Please contact hannu@opensound.com if you have any questions. + +********************************************************************** +All these programs are released under GNU Public License (GPL) version +2.0 or CDDL (if you prefer it). However there are few files that have +a different license. In that case the copying conditions will be +mentioned in the beginning of the files. +********************************************************************** + +Brief description of the directories +------------------------------------ + +To compile most of the programs just go to the directory ane execute "make" +or "make install". Some of the programs need to be compiled by hand. Use +"make install" in the main directory to compile and install all of them. + +dsp Very very old utilities. Many of them are still functional. + +ossmixer.c The "reference implementation" of an OSS mixer program. This +program uses the traditional OSS mixer API which is very limited. +Superseded by the ossmix/ and ossxmix/ programs. + +ossmplay A MIDI player that uses the /dev/music API. + +The ossmix and ossxmix programs use the OSS mixer extension API that is to +be officially released in OSS 4.0. Some minor changes are still planned to +this API so please keep this in mind if using these sources. + +ossmix A command line OSS mixer. +ossxmix A GTK+ based mixer/control panel program. +ossrec A simple command line .wav file recording applet. +ossplay A command line audio file player (for most file formats) +samples Few OSS programming sample programs. +awesfx SB AWE SoundFont Loader for EMU8000 synth. +sblive DSP compiler/loader and .DSP file sources for the SB Live/Audigy + driver of OSS. May be very impossible to understand without + documentation. Sorry for the time being. +tests Various test programs used to test this and that during + development of OSS. Can be used as programming examples. |
