hi,
while we're on the "sounds" tangent......
i'm still looking for a dos-shell, command-line-based sound player.
trips to c|net and others have failed.
before i start into learning the W32 api, has someone done this before????
thanks,

I'm not really an expert on 'processing' sounds, but an idea that has
been<br>
floating around in my mind has been to mix 'inaudible' sound-triggers
with<br>
the original gamesounds. For example a triangular wave of a
specific<br>
(inaudible) frequency and specific length that would trigger other
actions<br>
(sound filters, warning lights etc.)within the cockpit.<br><br>
This would however require a sound processing device that would
send<br>
specific sounds to different outputs depending on these triggers. In case
of<br>
"comms" the triggers would have to precede the spoken
message.<br><br>
I don't know if this theory is practically possible at all. Another
concern<br>
is the 'frequency range' supported by most soundcards, which doesn't
leave<br>
much room in the 'inaudible' range I think.<br><br>
I'm very interested what aothers will have to share on this
theory...<br><br>
