Now there's a nifty and valuable piece of information.

And here's the obvious riposte:

audioclips work in Linux. I don't know what dependencies you need to 
satisfy, and you'll have to do some experimenting with file formats 
(wav might be the safest bet) and the bit rate and sample rate to find 
those that work and those that don't. My experience is that some 
sounds (maybe very short ones?) seem not to do anything in the IDE but 
play fine in a standalone.


Looking at this page:

http://www.music.helsinki.fi/tmt/opetus/uusmedia/esim/index-e.html

the first three sample wav files "play" as white noise when imported 
as audioclips (in the IDE) but the u-law encoded one reproduces nicely.

goofy question about audioClip

2017-11-29 Thread Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode
I had a look at a very well explained tutorial on how to play audio 
files in LiveCode:


http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/25230-play-sounds

for the simple reason that the last time I played sound in LivCode (or 
"Runtime Revolution" as then was)
was in 2002 in a Commercial product I worked on for Macintosh and 
Windows in Scotland.


At that time to play audio files the end-user had to have QuickTime 
installed on their computer.


So I was "dead chuffed" to find that my "carrot.aiff" test file, on 
being imported into my test stack

and triggered by

play audioClip "carrot.aiff" gave me a nice, clean crunch "just like that."

Now for the goofy Q:

Is there a way to play audioClips in Linux?

The tutorial makes no mention of this feature being restricted to some 
platforms.


Richmond.
