Generare un'onda sinusoidale con le funzioni esterne della libreria Sndfile

Mostriamo di seguito un semplice esempio per generare un file WAV contenente i dati audio di un'onda sinusoidale a doppio canale, e pertanto può essere formata da due frequenze diverse.

E' necessario avere installata nel sistema e richiamare in Gambas la libreria condivisa: "libsndfile.so.1.0.28"

Private Const FREQUENZA As Integer = 44100
Private Const DURATA As Integer = 176400         ' (FREQUENZA * 4 secondi)
Private Const AMPIEZZA As Float = 2130706432.00  ' (1,0 * &h7F000000)
Private Const LEFT_FREQ As Float = 0.009977324   ' (hz 329,6 / FREQUENZA)
Private Const RIGHT_FREQ As Float = 0.007473923  ' (hz 440,0 / FREQUENZA)
