A Sound Server For X · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by timothy on Monday February 3, 2003 @10:19AM from the your-screen-is-talking dept.

An anonymous reader writes "X.org, the organization that governs the evolution of the X11R6 specifications, has released a sound server for X, called MAS. According to their site: 'MAS integrates with a compatible X11 server on your desktop. It processes graphic information locally, alleviating the need for network transmission of uncompressed graphical content. Graphic events are easily synchronized with audio events for professional-quality multimedia and accessibility-enabled applications.'" The X.org site describes MAS as an "affiliated technology" rather than "official," but it is released under the same license. "MAS" stands for "Media Application Server," and it's developed by Shiman Associates.

Better than esound by Fastball · 2003-02-03 10:26 · Score: 0, Redundant

I'm all for this. Anybody who's dealt with esound knows that XMAS or anything else would be an improvement.

Hey, is it just me, or has anyone else noticed: X-MAS = Christmas?
