Arbritrary audio output in OC2?

[atirut-w]

Original OC computers can beep for a set duration and frequency. Does OC2 already have that or something more? If not, would it be possible?

I think it would be pretty interesting what people will do with a more generalized computer architecture in Minecraft and music or audio stuff other than the sound card thing.

There is the sound card, here is the wiki link: https://github.com/fnuecke/oc2/blob/1.18-forge/src/main/resources/assets/oc2/doc/en_us/item/sound_card.md

It only play pre-made sounds so it's not really arbitrary.

Having on the fly new sounds might be a bit tricky, but it appears to be possible according to this website I found: https://bedroomcoders.co.uk/lwjgl-streaming-sound-with-openal/

There is an audio codec called DFPWM that Computronics and CC Tweaked mods use. It allows you to play user-uploaded sounds.

There is a virtio-audio device now in VirtIO specification, so it should be possible to implement it on the Sedna/OC2-server side without fully emulating a real audio card.

We'd have a PCM stream which should be somehow retransmitted to all the clients connect to the game server.
