Downloaded the xmms dirver and installed the libsndfile library but XMMS still
plays the sound fast... And also Crashes... I'm wondering if it's just my
sound card. :-(``````

I'm new to OSS Programming, and I'm
attempting to play some 8bit wav
files. However OSS is telling me that my sound card will not play 8bit ,
only 16bit. If I force it. The sound changes pitch, and is very fast. (
obviously ).
Is there anyway to convert 8bit to 16bit on the fly? I've noticed that
XMMS also fails to play the 8bit wav file correctly.
You can fix this by disabling XMMS's built in WAV reader and using
XMMS_Sndfile instead:
http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/XMMS/
which will also allow you to play a large number of other file types.
I've even tryed to convert the file from 8bit
to 16bit using SOX. But
with the same results. I would like to support 8bit file wavs in my
program as MOST of the wavs available are in 8bit format...
For reading sound files from within a program libsndfile:
http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/
which is required by XMMS_Sndfile anyway. It contains an example program
which uses OSS to play back any sound file it can read.
