I posted this email a week ago... I figured I would attach a piece of
test code that shows my problem. The viewer is at the origin. The
"distanceGain" curve and "distanceToSound" values are private members at
the top of the class. When I run this program, changing the
"distanceToSound" has no effect... the sound _always_ plays at full gain
as if it were located at the origin.
Can somebody else try this and tell me if I'm just having a driver
issue. You will need to play with the "distanceToSound" member and
recompile to run each test.
<<TestBed.java>> <<CRICKETS.WAV>>
Thanks in advance,
