Lessons learned from NCSU FOSS class

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT
Free and open source software (FOSS) is only beginning to find a foothold in computer science departments in North America. FOSS tools may be used in teaching or be the subject of research or special committees, but few departments include courses that introduce students to the FOSS community. As a result, when North Carolina State University created a FOSS graduate course in the 2008 spring semester, it turned to Red Hat to find an instructor with a suitable background of FOSS involvement and university teaching experience. Community manager Greg DeKoenigsberg recommended performance tools engineer Will Cohen, who now looks back at the experience with an eye to how what he and his students learned might help other instructors.

NAME
3D Sound Support Classes - Classes class SoAudioDevice The SoAudioDevice class is used to control an audio device. The SoAudioDevice class is responsible for initialization of an audio device, as well as enabling and disabling sound. It is a singleton class. " class SoListener The SoListener class defines listener attributes used when rendering sound. When rendering geometry, one needs to have a camera defining certain attributes related to vieweing. The SoListener plays a similar role when it comes to rendering audio. " class SoVRMLAudioClip The SoVRMLAudioClip class is used to load and store audio data. Audio data is loaded using the simage library, so make sure you have built the simage library with support for the audio file formats you intend to use (libogg, libvorbis and libvorbisfile for OggVorbis, libsndfile for WAV and several other formats). " class SoVRMLSound The SoVRMLSound class is used to represent a sound source. The detailed class documentation is taken verbatim from the VRML97 standard (ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997).
