The DSP in Source is not done with Miles even though Miles does have a bunch of DSP features (and may be able to do the same thing). It's a custom modular system we built for HL2. There isn't currently a way to modify it without changing code. Licensees have access to this code but it isn't in the mod SDK. The automatic DSP algorithm uses surface material properties and geometry along with a custom controller to configure delay lines and reverb parameters.
As I recall, we use Miles sound system for multiplayer voice codecs and mp3 playback as well as steam voice chat.

You mention it is used for a 'large part of its playback' do you know exactly what extent the source engine controls the miles API's? or what version of the API is used? I am also contacting miles directly regarding this info, I have managed to find out a LOT more information already just from the details you provided again thanks very much Ant On 17 Jan 2008, at 06:50, Adam amckern McKern wrote: > You would want to maybe email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > and ask them about it as the source engine uses the > miles sound system for a large part of its playback. > > Adam > > --- Anthony Mann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hi again >> >> Im writing a paper at the moment on sound design for >> games and i have >> a few questions some of you may be able to help me >> out with! >> I have been enjoying manipulating and creating >> soundscapes in the hl2 >> engine, and have been using hammer since CS 1.4.
