I'm working on a game, and am having trouble with speed.
I haven't checked with the NextAnswers stuff, but I will try there too.
Do sounds slow down a program (Suck up processor time). I am using an
8mhz .snd file loaded into a Sound object.
Can I generate over the DSP and get better results.
Dan.

At the NeXT archives at sonata.cc.purdue.edu and probably cs.orst.edu. Its called mac2snd (sorry, don't remember which directory its in). I've used it to convert many Mac sounds and it works just fine.

Is there a way to play sounds with just a unix program, like for example localhost>play sound.snd thanks, Eran
