- Hello!
-
- Because of many incoming emails asking for AudioSTREAM, (yes,
- people still ask), I decided to release informations
- about the present state of this project.
-
- So: I _ABORTED_ THE DEVELOPMENT about a year ago, mainly due
- following reasons:
-
- 1> situation in Amiga market, but this is NOT the main reason
- 2> my spare time - i study a school and work as a programmer
- of a database system, so I hadn't time to develop anything
- 3> the main part of AudioSTREAM was coded too ugly (it was
- my first larger project on amiga), it's coded in AmigaE
- + assembler, it's totally unportable and MC68k dependent,
- so changing anything after year was a nightmare :)
-
- So, now I have (and will have) no interest in this project and
- I decided to make the present developer version and the source
- code available for free. You can do anything with that. But I
- doubt that anyone will.
- The source is mainly for demonstration purposes: for "having
- a look". It's absolutly nonsense to continue the development.
-
- *Now I'm thinking about making similar, new (and better
- project), with more features, but not primarily for Amiga, but
- it will be portable now, written in c++ and I will port it
- to PPC amiga or another Amiga :). But I don't promise anything,
- coz lack of my time, etc.....I just have an idea...*
-
- ...
-
-
- now: INFORMATIONS FOR THOSE WHO WANTS DO HAVE A LOOK TO MY CODE
- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
-
- (last changed version, from 6th-Jul-1999)
- [v 990705]
-
- AGAIN: I DOUBT YOU WILL CONTINUE THE DEVELOPMENT. WRITING A NEW
- SOFTWARE FROM SCRATCH IS BETTER SOLUTION............
-
-
- 1. About 50% of AudioSTREAM is coded in a very ugly way,
- the rest of code is ...?? i don't know, I dont understand
- it now (really, I forgot the E syntax .... oops)
- 2. It's coded in AmigaE (I used v 3.3a) -> unportable, ugly
- 3. For compiling, you need to add included mpega.m to your modules
-
-
- What is (almost >60%) finished:
- --------------------------
- GUI definitions (90%)
- Track editor (97%)
- Sample editor (99%) - the only "usable" part now :)
- MPEGA decoder (100%)
- About window (100%) - this was the first part I've coded :))))
- ...maybe I forgot something
-
- What is not finished:
- ---------------------
- everything else
-
-
- WARNING: THERE'S NO PROGRESS WITH SOUND RENDERING ROUTINES!!!
- ...THERE IS NO SOUND STUFF EXCEPT PLAYING SAMPLES IN EDITOR!!!
- ...THERE ARE NO STREAMING ROUTINES
- ...NO DSP STUFF (except dummy interface definition)
- ...IT'S PRACTICALLY GUI\ONLY STUFF
-
- (i say it again, the source is not interesting)
-
- NOTE: As is it unusable, I STILL USE IT FOR DECODING MP3s, EDITING
- AND STORING TO HDD AS AIFFs :))))) VERY CONFORTABLE!
-
- NOTE: Maybe you need some additional emodules from Aminet. Don't
- ask me for missing emodules. mpega.m is not on aminet,
- but it's included in this package.
-
- NOTE: Don't ask me " what xxx(aaa,[1,2,4])" or other fragments
- of code mean. I have no time to examine it. I don't know
- it now.
-
-
- LICENCE
- -------
- You can do anything with it. It's free, except: the NAME
-
- WARNING: THE NAME "AUDIOSTREAM" IS REGISTERED AS
- MY TRADEMARK FOR A SOFTWARE PRODUCT. I MAY TO USE
- IT FOR MY FUTURE PRODUCT. PLEASE, IF YOU WILL
- CONTINUE MY WORK (I DOUBT), DON'T USE THAT
- NAME WITHOUT CONTACTING ME FIRST.
