A shortcut key can be assigned to each sound effect or you can trigger the sounds sequentially. WAVE Utilities WAVE Utilities is a set of three programs for dealing with WAVE format audio files. Some software is unable to parse complex WAVE files containing such things as playlists and padding. SimplifyWave converts complex files into files that such programs can read by stripping everything other than the data chunk. RepairWave inserts the required data chunk id and size information into ill-formed files in which the audio data directly follows the header. InfoWave extracts information from a RIFF/WAV or RIFX/WAV file and reports on the contents of the file. X11 Audio Extension The X11 Audio Extension aims to provide audio support for the X Window System, in particular the X.Org reference implementation. Audio data can be directly routed through the X protocol so that remote applications can transparently play and capture audio across the network in the same way they can do graphics and mouse/keyboard user interaction. Applications with strict latency requirements can alternatively use shared memory. The extension provides hooks for an "audio compositing manager" that manages how multiple applications may simultaneously access the audio hardware (mix streams, mute some streams); it is the counterpart to the window manager.
