36.2 Software: Sound API
Sound API
Open AL (AL –
Audio Library) is an interface software which allows programmers to produce
high-end audio output. It is designed for multi-channel outputs for 3D sound
sources and the platform allows can be used anywhere as it used syntax which is
the same as OpenGL to function. Open AL allows audio to be generated within 3D
space. This means that it gives the user a different perspective and experience
as by imitating 3D space using audio adds the doppler effect by
making use of sound frequencies. For gaming, this allows the experience to be
like Virtual Reality.
The
Java sound API is a type of low-level API which controls the input and
output of sound media which includes audio and MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital
Interface) data. The API provides total control over the capability
which were required for sound input and output in a framework which
promotes the system to be better and to be extended and flexibility.
