[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MacinTalk Compatible Sound?

beard@ux1.lbl.gov (Patrick C Beard) (01/05/89)

Has anybody done very much work with MacinTalk?  We are using MacinTalk
version  1.3 which is Mac II compatible and have been trying to intermingle
sounds (SysBeep, Sound Manager calls, etc.) with speech.  The problems that
occur range from not being able to generate sounds at all, to clipping speech
after a sound has been generated.

Therefore, my questions are:

1)  Is there a clean way to integrate speech and sound togeth system
for generating simple beeps?

Thanks,

My last message got garbled.  Here is a repost.

1)  Is there a clean way to integrate speech and sound together.

2)  Does anybody really understand how sound is generated on the Mac?
Could anyone send (post) some code that generates sounds directly at the
hardware level, i.e. bypassing the system, that could be used for generating 
simple beeps?
