Libao is a cross-platform audio library that allows programs to output audio using a simple API on a wide variety of platforms. It currently supports: * Null output * WAV files * OSS (Open Sound System) * ESD (ESounD or Enlightened Sound Daemon) * ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) * PulseAudio (next generation GNOME sound server) * AIX * Solaris (untested) * IRIX (untested) DJGPP specific changes. ======================= - The following backends are supported by the port: file output: AU, RAW and WAV live output: NULL - The port expects "/dev/env/DJDIR/etc/libao.conf" as the system wide config file and the user specific one either as ".libao" or "_libao" in the HOME directory. If the HOME environment variable is not set then the current working directory is used to find the config file. - The reading/writing stream is switched into O_BINARY mode. If the stream is connected to stdin/stdout/TTY, then Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break are re-enabled so the user can interrupt the program. - Apart from those changes there are no other user visible ones. Only some small changes have been done to get the library configured and compiled. - The Cross-platform Audio Library does not provide any test suite so the port cannot be tested except by using it. - To configure and compile this port at least the following version of Bash, Make and pkg-config are required: http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/bsh4253b.zip http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/mak43br2.zip http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/pkc023b.zip No previous versions will work nor are supported. Any future version should work. - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3, Win98SE and MSDOS 6.22 with DOSLFN v0.41f. There is no guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-like OS. Due to the use of long file names it will not be possible to configure and compile without LFN support. The port has been compiled using gcc346 and bnu2351b. As usual, all djgpp specific files (diffs, README files, etc.) are stored in the "djgpp" directory. The sources have been configured to be build in the "0build" directory. If for some reason it does not work for you, delete its contents and configure from scratch again. Please read the docs to become familiar with this product. Here is an extract of the CHANGES file showing the user visible changes from the last port (Cross-platform Audio Library 1.2.0) to this one: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the first port. Read the documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The port consists of the usual two packages that have been produced using djdev20X (CVS repository code) and can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (time stamp 2022-10-22): Cross-platform Audio Library 1.2.0 headers, library and html and man format documentation: http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/lao120b.zip Cross-platform Audio Library 1.2.0 source: http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/lao120s.zip Send Cross-platform Audio Library specific bug reports to .
