NOTE: You must edit either the Imakefile or the Makefile to
and uncomment out the AUDIO DEFINES and Libraries for your
machine type before compiling.
--------------------------------------------------------------
What's Supported
--------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a list of currently supported audio formats:
AVI 8 and 16 bit RAW(PCM) mono/stereo.
Quicktime 8 and 16 bit RAW(PCM) mono/stereo.
Quicktime 8 and 16 bit TWOS(signed PCM) mono/stereo.
AVI ADPCM is *NOT* supported even though you'll get some
distorted sound out of it.
Quicktime MAC6 is *NOT* supported. Hell, I don't even know
what it is.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Generic Bug's
--------------------------------------------------------------
+ Remote Control Window will have the wrong colors with TrueColor
and DirectColor visuals. I haven't had time to look at this.
+ Possible bug with audio on Indigo 2's.
--------------------------------------------------------------
New(or Fixes) to 2.69.7.0
--------------------------------------------------------------
Whole Bunch of Stuff
+ ALL: Completely redid audio/video sync'ing.
+ ALL: Should be able to step forwards/backwards and have audio resync
up when forwards play resumes. Backwards play is silent, but
audio should resync when you reverse to forwards again.
+ HP: Made several changes, but still not working.
+ AF: AudioFile support added by Tom Levergood and patched
by msm@panther.pa.dec.com
+ LINUX: Bug is Closes_Freq resulted in mismatched freq's.
+ SGI: Bug is Closes_Freq resulted in mismatched freq's.
+ QT: Many new variations of older codecs supported.
+ QT: minor bug fix that caused potential core dumps on Alphas.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Configuring For Your Machine
--------------------------------------------------------------
You'll need to edit the Makefile or the Imakefile. Go to the Audio
section and uncomment out the DEFINE's associated with your machine
type. Make sure no other machine's DEFINE's are uncommented. That
would be bad.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Sparc Specific Info
--------------------------------------------------------------
Having some problems with gcc, because it wants to use it's
own include files and they're usually wrong(or out of date).
Use cc if this happens.
If you are using Solaris, use the -DSOLARIS define in the Makefile.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Linux(soundcard) Specific Info
--------------------------------------------------------------
Compiles and runs on 8 bit and 16 bit sound cards(sound driver 2.5 and 2.99).
Some video/audio syncing problem with driver 2.5 that got better with 2.99.
--------------------------------------------------------------
SGI Specific Info
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you have Irix 5.1 or greater then make sure you have installed
the digital media development subsystem (dmedia_dev.sw.audio) off
of the CD-ROM.
If this isn't on your CD_ROM then read on...
"according to the 5.2 readme first page, it says
that the Audio Development software has been moved from
the IDO to a purchasable option, IRIS media libraries. "
And you either have to contact SGI and buy it($495) OR
In the meantime, you can compile XAnim on an Irix 4.0.5 machine
and the XAnim binary should work back on the original Irix 5.1
or 5.2 machine.
Once XAnim audio is stablized on SGI's, I should be able to provide
an xanim executable. NOTE: I don't have nor can I legally distribute
the SGI audio libraries and include files.

HP Specific Info
--------------------------------------------------------------
Written, but not working. :^)
--------------------------------------------------------------
AudioFile (AF) Specific Info
--------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't brought up AF yet on my machine. I'm assumming it work.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Any comments, questions, bugs, fixes, etc email me at podlipec@wellfleet.com
If you make changes to the audio code, please send entire
xanim_audio.c file unless the patches are minor.
