4 GENERAL
|
|
|
5 -------
|
|
|
6
|
|
|
7 * At this time, only Linux, and FreeBSD are supported.
|
|
|
8 * I've included HP & Sun expermental, untested sound servers. Please
|
|
|
9 report whether these work or don't work.
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
11 * Generic Rplay support will be added later (SGI, NetBSD, etc)
|

14 COMPILING
|
|
|
15 ---------
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 * If you are compiling a client with sound support, define UNIX_SOUND
|
|
|
18 and explictly compile the sound server with "make paradise.sndsrv.linux".
|
|
|
19 The client defaults to using UNIX_SOUND, for simplicity (overhead is
|
|
|
20 negligable). You may take your UNIX_SOUND if you architecture does not
|
|
|
21 have a sound server, but it really doesn't matter if you don't.
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 * For those of you who are brave enough to try to port this to a new arch.
|
|
|
24 Just add your arch.'s define to sound.c and then make a new sound server
|
|
|
25 based on my linux sound server. Do not modify the linux sound server,
|
|
|
26 please make a new one.

|
|
|
30 -----
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
32 * Once a client is compiled with sound support you'll need to uncomment and
|
|
|
33 set the path for the sounds in the .paradiserc (Option soundPath), if you
|
|
|
34 want sounds to play.
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 * Without the soundPath defined, the client will not even look for an audio
|
|
|
37 device.
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
39 * Define soundDev for the audio device "/dev/dsp" is the default. This is
|
|
|
40 the RAW device ONLY!
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 * Some minor Sound skipping may occur under heavy load. Please report any
|
|
|
43 major problems. A better scheme is in the works! :)
