  21. Okay, I wasn't very explicit.  Yes, oplay does load while playing.
  22. (So 2Kb and 2Mb sounds take the same amount of memory.)  This can make
  23. playback choppy if you load from a floppy disk or NFS mount, or  any
  24. other similarly slow device, but you can get around it by setting your
  25. buffer size to something larger than the file size.  In this case,
  26. oplay will read the whole file into RAM before playing.

  28. Thanks for the interest.
