Playing audio files on personal DECstation
I've been trying to get a usable helper program for Xmosaic to
allow playing of audiofiles on the Personal DECstation 5000/25
and 33. I also hoped to find a way of playing Sun .au files in
the process.
I've pulled AudioFile V2R2 from the DEC archive and installed
the bba0 driver into the kernel of my machine. I then found
that the Amaxine Audio Server component of the AudioFile suite
was so littered with mixtures of ANSI and non-ANSI declarations
of things that next to none of it would compile under cc or gcc.
Also AudioFile does rather seem like a sledgehammer to crack the
rather simple nut of loading samples into the audio chip!
So... is there a simpler program that I can use with Xmosaic
just to make the Personal DECstations capable of playing sound
files? (I only really need 8-bit working...)
The configuration is a Personal DECstation 5000 model 33 running
Ultrix 4.3A. Gcc revision is 2.4.5. The kernel has the bba driver
installed at major device 91. Any solution should also work on the
model 25s...
Thanks for your help.
Regards, Bevis.
