README - SoundSnippets

SoundSnippets.c defines functions that perform some common sound-related operations,

such as saving a movie's sound track into a separate file or playing a continuous sound using

the bufferCmd sound command. This is not really a library of utilities, but more a grab-bag

of "how-to" recipes.

Here's a partial list of what's illustrated here:

    *Save a sound-only QuickTime movie as a WAVE file.

    *Save a sound-only QuickTime movie as a file whose type the user selects.

    *Save a sound track in a QuickTime movie as a file whose type the user selects.

    *Create a handle that contains the first sound track in a QuickTime movie.

    *Open and play a WAVE file using the QuickTime API.

    *Set the volume level of a sound track in a QuickTime movie.

    *Use the bufferCmd sound command to continuously play a large buffer of audio data.

    *Get the current hardware settings.

    *Get the settings for a sound track in a QuickTime movie.

    *Get and set the current left and right volumes of a sound channel.

    *Let the user select an audio file and select its compression settings; then compress it.

Enjoy,

QuickTime Team
