   6 This is the wxMultimedia package. It intends to be a portable way to access
   7 some multimedia component on variable system. For the moment, I implemented
   8 sound, video and CD access.

  10 Sound features:
  11   * low level/OSS style access to the sound card. You can open/setup the
  12     parameters of the sound card then write/read directly to/from it.
  13   * mid level codecs: compressors and sound codec are supported. For the
  14     moment there is a support for G711/G721/G723 and MULAW formats (as well
  15     PCM).
  16   * high level format: WAV file format is supported in read/write and AIFF
  17     format in read only

  21   * it seems there are still some bugs in the recording code on Windows
  22     on Cygwin B20.1 (to be verified)

  24     Player (not windows recorder)

  27   * high level video file playing: on Unix you can play (through xanim) video
  28     files directly into your application
  29   * MPEG video file to be supported through SMPEG as soon as I have some free
  30     time
