The brief summary for it is: AdaVox Features: - Plays a wide range of *.wav files: - Standard PCM wave files - Microsoft ADPCM compression format - IMA/DVI ADPCM compression format - u-Law wave files - a-Law wave files - Plays Sun's *.au/*.snd file formats: - Standard PCM samples - u-Law compression format - a-Law compression format - Plays multiple files in sequence - Endian neutral (good for PowerPC) - Ada95 sound packages can be used for applications - Optional "realtime" priority for reliable operation - Tested on FreeBSD - Tested on Linux (RedHat 7.0, 2.2.16 kernel) - Netscape friendly Even though this software provides a "command", there are packages that can be used to do what you want to do. I had planned to do more with this, and maybe will someday, but I have more urgent projects to do first (like writing compressed formats). It will read compressed formats, but not generate compressed formats. Hope this helps, Warren. -- Warren W. Gay VE3WWG http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3wwg
