audio files in pdf

audio files in pdf

[andrea valle]

Dear all,

In the next weeks I will make some presentations in which I will use 
audio examples.
More my course on audio will start soon.
Obviously, I want to use context. How can I link to audio files?

I tried once but wasn't able to get any result.
Could anyone post a little code snippet to exemplify?

(Or maybe send me a link to existing resources)

Thanks a lot as usual

Best

  [audio/mpeg]
  [stepsound.mp3]
  []

\definereference [StartSoundTrack] [StartRendering{stepsound}]
\definereference [StopSoundTrack]  [StopRendering{stepsound}]

... 

\goto{use ear protection}[StartSoundTrack]

Thanks Hans,
I had this:


\starttext
Test
\externalfigure[1-01-bell.wav]

\stoptext

Is it enough? What should the output be?

I obtain in place of externalfigure the grey-"trouble-here"-square with 
name:dummy file:1-01-bell.wav state:unknown.



Thanks

Ahah! Chic.
Thanks Hans.

Just for my curiosity: what do you mean? I supposed to use the command 
you wrote me. Have I missed something or was it a bug?

Thanks

No bug, contrary to a movie or avi file a wav file is just a resource, so it has its own command. I mixed things up when suggesting a solution.
