As far as I know, the WAV format consists of uncompressed raw audio samples. There may be different variants of it (8-bit, 16-bit, mono, stereo); you should maybe experiment a little, or get some WAV documentation from somewhere. A long time ago, I made a few experiments. I just took the 4 most significant bits of each WAV sample, and packed two of them in a byte. I wrote a simple player that played these at a constant speed in a busy loop. You probably should use some kind of RLE compression to save space, and you may want to scale the samples. For instance, if the WAV file appears to use slightly more than 13 bits, you would multiply the samples by 6 or 7 to move the signal to the most significant bits. BTW, I remember reading about a MOD player for the C128 (I think it was MOD). Does anyone know anything about this? Marko - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
