Howdy!
I have a lot of big sampled speech (form .wav files -- MixedSound objects) in the SoundLibrary and I'd like to compress them with GSMCodec and still use them with 'make sound' tiles. Can someone please give me an incantation?
I'm off to a school in the morning but I need to prune RAM usage somewhat first :-)

Add a halo menu item that GSM compress and replace the selected sound "
This option was missing from the SoundLibraryTool. Hope this works :-)

Wouldn't the speex codec work much better than GSM?

I hope so. I tested a little with GSM and it sounded quite bad. I'll read up a little on how to use speex

Where can I get the Ogg plugin for Windows or Mac PPC?

Ah, great, I googled 'oggplugin.win.zip' and found it at http://metatoys.org/pub/ :-) Thanks Karl
Hi Luke,
Sorry about the API is too complicated though, this is a way of compressing a sound the SoundLibrary. I assumed the sound tile name is 'tada'.
| soundName compressed | soundName := 'tada'. compressed := (SampledSound soundNamed: soundName) compressWith: GSMCodec. SampledSound addLibrarySoundNamed: soundName bytes: compressed channels first codecSignature: compressed codecSignature.
Cheers, - Takashi
