Readme.1st
----------
This is a MINOR update. There's not much new...
Features in brief
-----------------
- FREEWARE! No beta, no nag requesters and no expiry date!
- online help
- autodetects and plays several soundfiles, up to 16 bit / 56 kHz / stereo
- full Workbench support (but not Intuition and no GUI)
- always correct playback speed, even for sounds >28 kHz
- realtime playback from harddisk, optimized assembler routines
- optional 14 bit output (less noise but not as good as true 16 bit)
- Supports AHI and soundcards (Prelude recommended!)
- automatic or manual audio filter control
- plays mono sounds on *both* channels, not only on the left one
- plays (and loops) files that are larger than memory
- preloading for exactly timed start of playback
- fast µ-Law/A-Law decompression
- system friendly audio channel allocation
- optionally dump the output into a file (can be used to convert sounds)
- supported Filetypes are:
* Microsoft RIFF-WAVE (.WAV) mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, linear/uLaw/ALaw/ADPCM
* Creative Voice File (.VOC) mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, linear
* Sun/NeXT Audio (.AU) mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, linear/uLaw
* MacroSystem Audio (.MAUD) mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, linear/uLaw
* Apple/SGI/Amiga AIFF (.AIFF) mono/stereo, 8/16/24 bit, linear
* Amiga IFF-8SVX (.IFF) mono/stereo, 8 bit, linear/FibDelta/ExpDelta
* Any raw sound data as long as it matches one of the following:
- 8 bit signed
- 8 bit unsigned
- 16 bit signed, Intel format (LSB first)
- 16 bit signed, Motorola format (MSB first)
- 14 bit µ-Law
- 14 bit A-Law
- supported output devices are:
* Native Amiga chipset (Paula) 8 bit
* Native Amiga chipset (Paula) 14 bit
* Native Amiga chipset (Paula) 14 bit calibrated (Christian Buchner)
* MacroSystem Maestro Pro 16 bit 44.1kHz and 48kHz only
* IFF-8SVX file dump 8 bit
* AHI audio system 16 bit
* Prelude 16 bit
What's new since v1.8?
v1.9 * New features:
- 24-bit AIFF support, playback will still be 16-bit though
- more verbose error reporting why a file can't be played
- recompiled with SAS/C 6.50
- OUTNUM option to select among different outputs of AHI devices
* Dropped features:
- removed the screenmode hack
