sounds in motif

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 01/16/2002 - 23:14. Developers
i am working on a project that calls for a flashing widget as well as an alarm that can make a constant noise or intermittent beeps that last around a second each. this alarm will also have to be disabled by clicking another button. any suggestions on how to tackle this problem? i haven`t been able to find much info about sound beyond the unix `beep` command. any help is appreciated. thanks!

Hi all ,
I will be very interested to know if good sounds can be used in motif applications instead on the beep.

Well, you can certainly use XBell(), which qualifies as some sort of audible alert. I think I`d hate to use this application, though, if it is constantly buzzing and flashing.

More-complicated sounds -- or, in fact, anything not already supported by the hardware -- need an extension which can synchronize the audio to actions on the screen, such as dialogs appearing or spaceships being blown up. Despite several attempts over the last few years, there doesn`t appear to be a good, final version. You can try using the "naudio" code if it is still on ftp.x.org.
