Geoff,
While I'm checking out Kevin's suggestion for using the 'prepare'
command, I'd appreciate any information or references your have about
the structure of an AIFF sound file. This method world probably be
the most precise, if I can manage to work well enough with the binary
data. My initial attempt to use the binary decoding function, without
really knowing what I was doing, caused Revolution to crash hard.
Maybe I don't need the encode/decode functions as long as I can
identify what to look for while reading the files to parse the
segments. Figuring and inserting the size of the sound data into the
header sounds pretty tricky, however.
Thanks!
Scott Saults
