[comp.sys.mac.programmer] sound without the sound manager

larsen@ginger.Princeton.EDU (Michael Larsen) (01/21/90)

According to Tech Note #19, the sound driver should no longer be used, for
all sorts of good reasons:  it is buggy, conflicts with the sound manager
(SysBeep, in particular), doesn't take advantage of the ASC, etc.
OK, but suppose I want to circumvent the sound manager, for my own
sufficient reasons.  What am I supposed to do?

The author(s) of SoundEdit faced this problem in setting up a feedback
loop (in meter mode, data is sent straight from the MacRecorder out the
speakers).  So it is obviously possible.  Anyone know how it should be done?

In case there is a machine dependency issue, I am working on a Mac II.
