Hi all,

i'am working on a application using TCL/TK.
After getting a deeper look into my book i found nothing about producing
any sounds with TCL/TK.
There is only a bell command - but it produces under WIN95 only a
"bell".
Are there any enhancements or other functions available to produce
different tones with the built in soundcard
under WIN95 ?
Does anybady have experience in it ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Take a look at the Snack Sound Extension,
http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/

To play a sound file:

sound s -file sound.wav
s play

Regards,

This is, I might add, a totally cool extension.

Get the snack extension:

What: Snack
Where: <URL: http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/>
<URL: ftp://ftp.speech.kth.se/pub/kare/snack1.6.3.tar.Z>
Description: The Snack sound extension adds commands to play and record audio.
Snack supports in-memory sound objects, file based audio, and
streaming audio, with background audio processing. It handles
fileformats such as WAV, AU, and AIFF. Snack is extensible,
new commands and sound file formats can be added using the Snack
C-library. Snack also does sound visualization, e.g. waveforms
and spectrograms. The visualization canvas item types update
in real-time and can output postscript. Windows 95/98/NT, and Unix.
Works with the Tcl plug-in. Works with Tcl 8.0 and later, as well
as is stubs enabled.

This is a blatant understatement :^)

You know, a recommendation like that one almost makes me wish I had an
application that needed sound so I'd have a bit of an excuse to use it.
Difficult to justify it in an EDA client though...

I was thinking of the sound of all those
teensy electrons tumbling over each other
on sharp corners. Donal, surely you'll
want to incorporate that.

Perhaps more appropriate is a voice chanting "I think I can, I think I
can..." while trying to do timing extraction on a deep submicron design.

Or if the tool has an autorouter, perhaps some mood music if it decides to
take the "scenic" route. (Our router guys give us nasty looks when we
describe it like this.) Or construction if it has to do some ripup.


Hmm... maybe we could get this in our tool before the next Design Automation
Conference....

Then you need to make one up, Donal. Ever thought about what overshoot
sounds like? How about bit errors? To me, routing congestion on a
digital chip sounds kind of like the I-75 off ramps in North Dallas at
rush hour.

Alas, my tool is working in a different part of the EDA spectrum.
(What on earth goes with a full formal analysis of the design? What
tune corresponds to a successful model-check or equational proof?)

And I *know* that the users would object. Especially if they kept
hearing the chime for "this bit works" from other people's
workstations, but only the "No way, José!" jingle from their own...

A surprised silence...
