Project Overview
Rich, 3D environments need sound to provide the user a feeling of complete immersion. When visualization is provided by a cluster of computers, the sound processing can be handled by a dedicated machine that is in turn connected to the speakers and other audio equipment. The OpenAL Audio Server (OAS) provides this functionality via a network interface on a Linux machine. OAS is based loosely on the aging Windows DirectSound AudioServer project by Marc Schreier, and aims to deliver a backwards compatible solution.
