There were numerous times thoughout the days leading up to the conference and during the conference that I physically, suddenly and involuntarily jumped due to some unexpected sound directly behind my shoulder, or, for instance, the sound of sirens that made me check to be sure I hadn't just been run over. Marije has said that some effect can be achieved with as few as 8 speakers, iirc. The TU system is the largest installed to date, afaik. -Eric Rz. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-dev
