Other useful sound utilities</A></H2> <P>This section has nothing to do with the actual playing of sound files. Rather, it is a collection of some sound utilities that one might find useful. <P> <H2><A NAME="ss3.1">3.1 volume</A> </H2> <P>This is a simple command line interface for controlling the volume (what else could it be?). It also has a separate program with a Tcl/Tk interface included in the package for controlling the volume and playing <CODE>.au</CODE> sound files. A very simple Tcl/Tk CD player is also included. <P>This is Freeware and it is written by Sam Lantinga (<CODE>slouken@cs.ucdavis.edu</CODE>). <P>It can be obtained from <A HREF="ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/soundcard/volume-2.1.tar.gz">ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/soundcard/volume-2.1.tar.gz</A>. <P> <P> <H2><A NAME="ss3.2">3.2 Sound Studio</A> </H2> <P>This is a Tcl/Tk application that supports playback, recording, and editing of digital sound using <CODE>sox</CODE>. It includes <CODE>sox</CODE> in the distribution to avoid compatibility problems. <P>This was written by Paul Sharpe and N. J. Bailey (<CODE>N.J.Bailey@leeds.ac.uk</CODE>). It may be freely used and redistributed if a postcard is sent. <P> <P>It can be found at <A HREF="http://www.elec-eng.leeds.ac.uk/staff/een6njb/Software/Studio/screens.html">Sound Studio's home page</A>. <P> <P> <H2><A NAME="ss3.3">3.3 Tickle Music</A> </H2> <P>This <EM>beta</EM> Tcl/Tk program is a music file browser that allows you to play various sound formats as long as an appropriate program to play it is on your system. By default <CODE>gmod</CODE> is used for playing MOD files and <CODE>mp</CODE> for playing MIDI files (you can change the source to use other programs). <P>It is written and copyrighted by Shannon Hendrix (<CODE>shendrix@pcs.cnu.edu</CODE> or <CODE>shendrix@escape.widomaker.com</CODE>). <P>It can be obtained from <A HREF="ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/players/tmusic-1.0.tar.gz">ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/players/tmusic-1.0.tar.gz</A>. <P> <P> <HR> <A HREF="Sound-Playing-HOWTO-4.html">Next</A> <A HREF="Sound-Playing-HOWTO-2.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="Sound-Playing-HOWTO.html#toc3">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
