soundplayer

===========

A very simple sampled sound file player written using FMOD Ex library, so can play WAV, MP3, OGG, and a lot more. Communicates via standard input.

So to compile, compile with [FMOD Ex](http://www.fmod.org/).

Building

--------

The provided Makefile assumes that you put your FMOD Ex installation at `/opt/fmodex`.

Usage

-----

This app receives commands from the standard input, and log messages to standard error.

Available commands are:

* `s` - stops all playing sound

* `lPATH` - loads the sample file at PATH but don't play it yet (won't load same file twice)

* `pPATH` - plays the loaded sample file at PATH (or load if it isn't already loaded)

* `vVOLUME` - sets the volume of the next sound to play (0.0 to 1.0, inclusive)

Example usage:

    l/home/dtinth/wav/wav01.wav

    p/home/dtinth/wav/wav01.wav

    p/home/dtinth/wav/wav02.wav

    s

    p/home/dtinth/wav/wav03.wav

    s

Why

---

So I can use it in other languages that requires playing sampled sound without fiddling to find a library that can play sounds well or

try to learn to write a wrapper around some library. For example, using this, I can quickly program my own sampler, as simple as:

    var stdin = process.openStdin();

    require('tty').setRawMode(true);

    function soundplayer() {

        var proc = require('child_process').spawn('/Users/dttvb/Projects/html5tnk/html5tnk/soundplayer');

        return {

            process: proc,

            load: function(file) { proc.stdin.write('l' + file + '\n'); },

            play: function(file) { proc.stdin.write('p' + file + '\n'); },

            quit: function(file) { proc.stdin.end(); }

        };

    }

    var p = soundplayer();

    p.process.stderr.pipe(process.stderr);

    p.process.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);

    p.load('kick.wav');

    p.load('hat.wav');

    p.load('clap.wav');

    process.stdin.on('keypress', function(chunk, key) {

        if (key.name == 'q') { p.quit(); process.exit(0); }

        if (key.name == 'd') p.play('kick.wav');

        if (key.name == 'f') p.play('clap.wav');

        if (key.name == 'j') p.play('clap.wav');

        if (key.name == 'k') p.play('hat.wav');

        console.log(key);

    });
