Subject: Re: 3D Sound Programming
The 2.21 SDK has the Focal Point 3D software and manual pages, maybe all of
this legal mess with Focal Point (at least some of the recent digests have
suggested legal troubles) has pushed Gravis to pull out the 3D functions and
release 2.22 without them (2.21 wasn't put out all that long ago, I wouldn't be
surprised if this were the case).
On a similar thread however, has anyone actually used the 3D functions
on the GUS? Have you had any success and/or failure and how easy/difficult were
they to use? I have been considering porting our 3D sound API to the PC (from
SGI workstations) and would love to support the Ultrasound if it would be easy
to do. Also, does anyone know how easy it would be to utilize the 3D library
and the Win3.1 sound API together? All of our 2D stuff will be written for
Win3.1's API (and Win95's when it gets closer to shipping) but I would love to
say "You can get 2D sound with any Win3.1 compatible soundcard...but if you
want 3D..."
It would be a nice little boost for our underdog of a soundcard. :-)
