Playing sounds?
[1/9] from: rgaither:triad:rr at: 15-Mar-2001 17:34
Hi All,
I think this was talked about, perhaps in jest but
I need to know if I can play a sound via Core or View?
I'm trying to write a monitoring utility that can "notify"
me when something isn't right. It would be great if
it could beep at me to let me know to take a look.
Thanks, Rod.

Heh. Don't forget that a cdda-fs is standard in BeOS, but not in other OSs,
so the question concerning WAV files on CDs may look weird to people who is
not used to it. :) Anyway, the WAV format exposed by cdda-fs is RIFF WAV.

Not sure if this is a problem - but on Win2k:
sndprt: open sound://
gives access error

sound:// requires latest view/pro upgrade.

Hi,
Just tried to play a file with a space in the filename and got the
following error message. Other wav files have been fine so far (and
great fun :). (View/pro 1.2 licensed)
>> x: load to-file "/c/winnt/media/windows NT Logon sound.wav"
** Access Error: Bad image data
** Near: x: load to-file "/c/winnt/media/windows NT Logon sound.wav"
core 2.5 gives me -
>> x: load to-file "/c/winnt/media/windows NT Logon sound.wav"
== [RIFF ¶
]
With trace on
>> x: load to-file "/c/winnt/media/windows NT Logon sound.wav"
Trace: x: (set-word)
Trace: load (word)
Trace: to-file (word)
Trace: "/c/winnt/media/windows NT Logon sound.wav" (string)
Trace: to (word)
Trace: (datatype)
Trace: :value (get-word)
Result: %/c/winnt/media/windows NT Logon sound.wav (file)
Result: %/c/winnt/media/windows NT Logon sound.wav (file)
** Access Error: Trace: "Bad image data" (string)
Bad image data
** Near: x: load to-file "/c/winnt/media/windows NT Logon sound.wav"
Any thoughts?
Cheers, John

I've got the same error message for one .wav file, but not for another
ones, so I discarded my e-mail message to the list, thinking my .wav
file was corrupted.
One other comment to 'load function. Carl - isn't it a little bit
inconsistent? 'load automatically distinguishes .gif, .jpg, .png, .bmp,
.wav by their internal structure, while we have to explicitly state
load/library ... what is the difference? Maybe 'load could distinguis
libraries automatically too?
Anyway - Rebol's cool ... and I am "dead" - I don't want to program in
anything else anymore :-))
Cheers,

At this time only standard, uncompressed PCM WAVs are supported.
Compressed WAVs (Mu-Law, A-Law, AD-PCM) are not supported yet --
probably will be in a future version.
For now use a utility like "sox" to convert WAVs to PCM.
There is more information in http://www.rebol.com/docs/sound.html

Sorry, I'm not versed in the different WAV formats. Will REBOL play a wave
file from an audio CD?

Shared libraries across the platforms don't have a
consistent internal structure and/or naming scheme-- so we
"punted" (which is amero-slang for 'we took the easy way
out' (-;)
