Sound Requests
The sound request panel controls how Snak deals with sound requests that someone
sends to the channel.
A sound request is sent with the command "/CTCP #channelname SOUND soundname.vaw"
and will cause that sound to be played by the other members of the channel, provided
they already have the sound file. The command does not send the sound file out,
only a request that the other channel members play their local copy of the sound.
If you receive a sound request and you do not have the sound file, it is a convention
that it can be requested with a special private nick message. To enable this,
select the last checkbox. If the other client supports this, it will send the
file via normal DCC.
It is quite annoying to the senders if you turn this on and then neglect to accept
the incoming filetransfer.
If you want use IRC to download MP3 files, you can use the MP3 request list to
automatically keep a sorted list of all the MP3 requests that happen in the channels
you are a member of. There are many channels dedicated to the exchange of MP3
files, and you can find then through the channel list.
The MP3 request list will appear as a tab in the list window, and can be opened
with cmd-M or by turning on the Show MP3 Request List. The list can be removed
by unchecking the option.
The chapter on the MP3 request list has more information on how to use the request
list, and how to use the Delete requests option.
