Hi. Could anyone point me to some very basic information to give me some
idea of programming for sound in linux.
I have previously programmed sound on Silicon Graphics machines and
Sun machines.
I'm thinking about linux in the context of *possibly* building a cross-
compiler (source code to source code), or similar, for porting the
Mac OS X version of SuperCollider to linux, depending on various things
(I have just sent an email to the supercollider development list).
Supercollider is at: http://www.audiosynth.com
It is an amazing piece of software, truly amazing.
Thanks in anticipation,
Ross Clement.

we can't even begin to answer such a nebulous question i'm afraid.

why would you want a cross-compiler? james has made the source code
available, IIRC, so just compile it for linux. no doubt significant
amounts of hackery would be required. i think you need to be more
specific about your questions and concerns.
SC is a perfect candidate for a JACK client, by the way (see
http://jackit.sf.net/), because of the way it was originally written
under MacOS.
the big problem in porting SC will be the GUI code, not the engine. at
least that's what i've understood from talking with james in the past.

Hi,
why not? I would just start to have a look at other sound applications
and
try to understand what they do. That's actually how I did it. And then
you
can get yourself a working installation of alsa and try to build the
existing documentation. In the meantime there's even a small primer,
how to open a sound device and make some noise.
Cheers, Alex

The older OSS aufio layer is very similar to that of Solaris.

What do you mean "source code to source code"?
Traditionally, a cross compiler compiles source on one machine into binary
for another machine.

" ... new TV ad for Microsoft's Internet Explorer e-mail program which
uses the musical theme of the "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's
Requiem. "Where do you want to go today?" is the cheery line on the
screen, while the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus
addictis,". This translates to "The damned and accursed are convicted
to the flames of hell."
