I just acquired a Zaurus 5500, and I'm wondering
if anyone has gotten
farther than I have using the Audio capabilities.
What I'd like is to use it to play MIDI files, record
practice sessions, and as a tuner and a metronome.
Recording the practice sessions worked out of the box, with the single
point stereo microphone I use with my minidisk recorder, and playing
back with the compact portable speakers.
There's an entry in the http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/ software index
for something that works as a tuner and a metronome, but the links are
broken.
And there are tantalizing references to using the libsdl mixer with
some patches to do MIDI via timidity. Has anyone tried this?
I wish i could get one of those, but it's not supported in my country, as in..
I get no tech service or anything.. and I have to mail the device for any
inconvenience.. too much of a mess :P
I'm tyring to port my audio code to work on PalmOS 5 models and it's pretty
painful due to how horribly designed the device is, and how it forces you to
keep backwards compatibility with m86k when I really dont want it...
Wish I could just install linux on it, hehe :)
