So, it's not only security, though both might be related to buffer overflows. To me support of alsaplayer seems like too much unpleasant work to an unrelated person. By the way, isn't pitch control and speed control in this context the same ? You can't play faster than the input stream, because you do not yet know what's in the stream. And if you play slower, you need ever growing input buffer. Because I thought speed control and pitch control were the same in this context I gave the link to http://sculptor.sourceforge.net/sculptor.shtml . --Sergei. -- Visit my http://appsfromscratch.berlios.de/ open source project. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
