Sound(3pm)

📦 version 2.085, in ubuntu noble

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to Sound(3pm) — yes bestie, that's the manual name, and it's from User Contributed Perl Documentation. The star of the show is:

  • PDL::Demos::Sound — play PDL-generated sounds. periodt.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this module is intended to be auto-discovered by the mechanisms of PDL::Demos. And PDL::Demos? That module also defines our interface, iykyk.

The demo creates some simple sound waves (a scale and a chord) and pipes them to an external sound player program. It knows how to invoke aplay (from alsa-utils), play and sox (the latter two 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.

If no suitable player is discovered, the demo does not die but shows an explanation where to obtain them. iconic behaviour, honestly.
