[Alephmodular-devel] Sound work, CMusic

[Br'fin <br...@ma...>]

I've been playing with abstracting sounds. And I'm certainly happier 
now with some of the more recent tweaks to things (CSound being an 
actual class for one instead of a cheat, for instance.)

I liked my progress so much that I actually tackled music.cpp, putting 
in both abstracting classes of my own based on the existing file AND 
Quicktime Music support code from A1. And I like the result. If you 
change the filetype of Music to AIFF then builds with this code should 
play that old theme, finally.

However, I have no idea how to take the mus2 file with no changes and 
tell Quicktime to treat it as if it were AIFF. Grrf.

I really like how the split-up of logic occurred for CMusic. CMusic has 
all of the details of when to play, when to pause, when to release and 
when to fade. And the CMusic_Carbon class only had to implement basic 
operations on a file based audio sequence. In this case, open the file 
as a Movie during construction, then handle simple start/stop/change 
volume operations.
