Subject: Pascal source code: async sound production
I was trying to get Think Pascal 4.0.2 to play anynchronous sounds (sounds
that play while other things are happening). It turns out that you have to
remove the [D] Debug compile option or else the machine crashes.
On the road to discovering this, I made a 'minimal' anynchronous sound
playing
program. A sample sound playing program is provided by Jim Reekes in the
DTS
folder of apple.com, but it is very elaborate and complex. What I offer
here
is a minimum piece of source code that a beginner could look at to see the
essential elements of async sound production, done by-the-book (vol VI of
Inside Apple, in this case).
