✨ NAME ✨

PDL::Demos::Sound — like, it plays sounds that PDL made 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay bestie, so this module is auto-discovered by the whole PDL::Demos machinery — that's just how it works, nobody's manually introducing anybody around here. And btw, that same PDL::Demos module is the one that defines the interface for this one. So it's giving very much "my friend set us up" energy. 🫶

The demo makes a couple of simple sound waves — a scale and a chord — and then pipes them straight into an external sound player program. Like, actual music, generated by math. The way that PDL is out here making bops?? 💅

It knows how to invoke these three players:

  • aplay — from alsa-utils 🎵
  • play — from SoX (Sound eXchange) 🎧
  • sox — also from SoX (Sound eXchange) 🔥

All of these are available as packages in Linux distributions, and SoX is also available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/ for Microsoft Windows and MacOS. So like, everybody's covered, periodt. ✨

And bestie, if no suitable player gets discovered, the demo does NOT die. It's not dramatic like that. 😌 It just shows you an explanation of where to go get them. Very demure, very mindful. 🎀

and that's the whole entire page, no cap — this was perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-08-20, and it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation. mwah, go make some noise 🦋💜
