Hi all,
In order to make context a bit more hip (to quote Ed), I added support for
sound.
The main reason for this feature was that Thanh wanted to know to what
extend sound was supported. Currently sound is a special case of a movie
annotation, but it does not require the movie plug in. Currently only
external sound files are supported.
\useexternalsoundtrack [label] [filename]
so,
\externalsoundtrack [somesound] [test.wav]
is legal.
One can invoke a sound with:
\goto{start melody}[StartSound{somesound}]
For those unfamiliar with the already old movie mechanism:
\externalfigure[fancy.mov][label=see me,width=4cm,height=3cm]
and
\goto{wanna see me}[StartMovie{see me}]
Other actions are Stop.., Pause.. and Resume.. All are actions, so
[action(StartMovie{..}] also works; and, of course, all can be part of a
chain of refs (see 1998-001.pdf):
\goto {ugh} [somechapter,ResetForm,StartSound{read me}]
Sound support will be avaible in the next (beta) release.
Hans
