Hi Everyone

I am still having trouble getting my project started. Sorry for cluttering =
the list with more dumb questions.=20

I have abandoned my hopes of creating a gstreamer binding and I am trying t=
o focus on smaller simpler solutions. I basically need to draw pictures to =
a screen and have keys create sounds as a child types, low latency is impor=
t to me.

I was thinking about using the ada-gtk binding and writing a small binding =
to a sound library. I have been able to to create some small bindings that =
compiled but I have hit several dead ends as the underlying Linux sound sys=
tem seem like a murky world. For instances I was able to create a thin bind=
ing for both pulseaudio and portaudio but then I could not figure out how t=
o write a program as there is very little documentation even in C.

So my question is, is there anyone building open source games in ada that u=
se sound? could someone refer me to some sample code?

If anyone has any general feedback on creating sounds with ada that would b=
e great too. I have read the chapter in big book of ada linux programming

Thanks for reading-Patrick
