One of the (many!) things often bemoaned as missing from the RISC OS sound system is a standardised method for audio input. This was less of a problem when extra hardware (podule) was needed as they came with their own software, but with many of the new systems having audio input facilities it has become more important to define a standard way to access them.

After being contacted by the Cloverleaf Project, Jason Tribbeck has stepped forward and started working on a new audio input API. His investigations have quickly expanded into looking at the audio system as a whole.

His goals are to:

• Allow audio input
• Support multiple interfaces at the same time
• Have higher resolution formats
• Provide backward compatibility with what has been done before

Jason will be talking about how he plans to achieve these aims, with some digressions into unit testing and documentation too! There is a long discussion and links to his (very detailed) proposal documents on the ROOL forum. Have a read through and bring along your thoughts and questions.

This meeting was held online via Zoom. There is a report on The Icon Bar, and a recording of it can be watched on YouTube.
