[Vm-dev] Re: [squeak-dev] Building (Linux) VM - with segfaults. that point to audio

[John M McIntosh]

primitiveSoundPlaySamples
primSoundPlaySamples
invokes
primitiveSoundPlaySamples
which calls
framesPlayed = snd_PlaySamplesFromAtLength(frameCount, (int)buf,  
startIndex - 1);
which is the platform specific api for playing sound  (frameCount) at  
buf starting at (startIndex -1)
on unix it's really snd->snd_PlaySamplesFromAtLength
so it dispatchs to the sound plugin for the unix's VM choice.
