[Opensim-users] sound files length

[Tom Willans]

In SL there is the script http://www.free-lsl-scripts.com/cgi/freescripts.plx?ID=1681 that can play multiple 10 second wave files to make upto in this case 42 minutes.
Unfortunately this does not work within Openim because  llSetSoundQueueing is not fully implemented. This buffers the sound so that there is no break I believe. I have been told that the 10 second .wav files are quite a resource hit - however I have not tested this myself.

It would be helpful if this could be fully implemented. 

I have got around this by using a script to play the parcel media as an avatar approaches using the agent sensor script. Using the media all I needed was a link to the .mp3 files. I never got the audio setting to work; I think that this needs audio streaming which I never set up fully (the media option was easier). You may be able to set the media parcel using 
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlParcelMediaCommandList for each set of dialogue.

Hope this helps.
