NAME
sgi sound reader - device specific class to read sound
files for a Silicon Graphics Indigo Systems
DESCRIPTION
The sgi sound reader class is device specific class to
read Silicon Graphics Indigo .aiff sound files. This class
is not ment to be used directly by the user. Instead, the
user should use the generic sound reader class. The relationship of sgi sound reader to sound reader is similar to
that of the device specific renderer classes, such as
vogle, to the abstract renderer class. This mechanism
allows scripts to be portable amoung various sound
devices.
When using the sound class, the sgi sound class will automatically be used if the LYMB_SOUND environmental variable
is set to sgi_sound.
There is an environmental variable, LYMB_SOUND_PATH, which
may be set to the directories that contain sound files to
eliminate the need to input full path names of files. The
use of LYMB_SOUND_PATH for sound files is analogous to
LYMB_PATH for script files.
See the sound reader class for more information.
