Hi people - If anyone would like to play with a wave file editor I have written, you are welcome to download it from: http://www.mhonline.net/~chuckh/afix-0.01.tgz I call it "afix" (audio fixer) and perhaps there is enough information in the README and in the program's help screens to get started. Basically it reads and writes .wav files, and lets you do tricks with the data while it is in memory - splitting and joining tracks, adjusting the gain, trimming out soft passages or loud passages (usually silences or clicks), adding silent markers between tracks that are preserved when the files are written and reread, copying, dropping, playing, and saving segments or the whole file, etcetera etcetera. If your system is equipped with lame it can also save wave files conveniently as mp3 files. If it is equipped with mpg123 you can conveniently read mp3 files as wave files. If you have the combination of trplayer and vsound you can read realmedia files as wave files as well. Of course you can use lame, mpg123, and trplayer/vsound without afix to do the same thing, but afix hides the interface and integrates their use within the context of a wave file editor. The program also relies on sox and the sox play script for converting some peculiar wave files and playing samples. Of course it uses a command line interface and is speech friendly, and it runs on modest systems - my system is so modest it is practically bashful!!! 16 megs ram, 133 MHz 5x86, Slackware 4.0. The tgz package is the source package and there are instructions for compiling and installing. Feedback is appreciated. I have a zillion other features I want to add, but there is enough here of interest to share with others who might be interested. Feedback is welcome. Especially about "segmentation faults" which I believe I have exterminated. (famous last words!) Chuck.
