Kare Sjolander <kare@speech.kth.se> - 25 Nov 1999 - comp.lang.tcl

 New version of Snack

 Version 1.6.3 introduces new commands/options and contains several bug
 fixes.
 Support for handling large audio files on disk has been improved through
 the
 option to use pre-computed waveforms for fast display.

 The Snack sound extension for Tcl/Tk adds commands to play and record
 audio. Snack supports in-memory sound objects, file based audio, and
 streaming audio, with background audio processing. It handles
 fileformats such as WAV, MP3, AU, AIFF, and NIST/Sphere.
 Snack is extensible, new commands and sound file formats can be added
 using the Snack C-library.
 Snack also does sound visualization, e.g. waveforms and spectrograms.
 The visualization canvas item types update in real-time and can output
 postscript.

 Snack works with Tcl8.0.3 - Tcl8.2.2. It is possible to run scripts
 embedded in web pages through the use of the Tcl plug-in.
 Platforms: Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX and Windows95/98/NT.
