Eseguire un file WAV con le funzioni esterne del API di LibAo

Libao è una libreria multi-piattaforma che permette ai programmi di inviare dati audio PCM ai dispositivi audio nativi su una vasta gamma di piattaforme.

Per l'uso delle risorse della libreria libao bisognerà richiamare nel proprio applicativo Gambas le seguenti librerie dinamiche:

• "libao.so.4.0.0";
• "libalsa.so"

Di seguito un possibile codice per eseguire un file audio WAV con le risorse della libreria libao. Nell'esempio si supporrà che il file wav abbia una frequenza di campionamento a 44100 hertz, una risoluzione a 16bit e due canali:

Public Struct ao_sample_format
  bits As Integer             ' bits per sample
  rate As Integer             ' samples per second (in a single channel)
  channels As Integer         ' number of audio channels
  byte_format As Integer      ' Byte ordering in sample, see constants below
  matrix As Pointer           ' input channel location/ordering
End Struct
