[comp.sys.atari.st] Want a program that plays STe samples?

I knew that would get your attention...

Remember me? I was/am the one complaining that there are no programs that
use the new "stuff" in the STe?

Well.. It just hit me... Why don't I write something???

Hey, whoa, what a great idea!

Anyway, I have a TOS program that you give all kinds of fun parameters to
that will not only play your samples, but will let you adjust alot of
settings.

As of this moment, this is possible:

Usage:
   [[-L[{R,L}]] <filename>]   Load: Sample [Right/Left].
   [-S <0xhhhhhh> <0xhhhhhh>] Sample Loc: Hex memory span.
   [-M{S,M}]                  Mode: Stereo/Mono.
   [-R{0,1,2,3}]              Rate: 6.25/12.5/25/50kHz.
   [-P{O,L,S}]                Play: Once/Loop/Stop.
   [-K]                       Keep: Protect sample memory.
   [-I]                       Info: Suppress info listing.
   [-HELP]                    Help: This list.
Key: Elements between [ and ] is optional,
     An element between { and } must be selected.
     Memory locations must be in hex and begin with '$'
If only <filename> is given, then it defaults to '-MM -R1 -PO'.
If -L[{R,L}] or -S is used, NOTHING changes by default,
 which means it must specifically be told to play, and how.

Just thought I'd tempt all of you with what I'm almost ready to post.

The hard stuff is done, now all I gotta figure out what numbers to
put in the MICROWIRE data registers to change master/left/right volume,
treble, bass and mix.  Believe it or not, this IS going to be easy once
I figure it out... (I'm lookn at the STe DMA soundchip stuff posted to the
net a few months ago, and the explaination of this isn't very clear, anyone
understand it?)
