[Opensim-users] sound files length

Wed May 15 10:32:53 UTC 2013

I have used the script you mentioned for playing multiple 10 second 
clips for musical instruments with some tweaking.  It works great in 
SL.  I have been waiting for the implementation for a long time now.  I 
wanted to make the same instrument in my grid for a  while. I haven't 
been talking about it much, because I know Opensim has lots of other 
things at the top of the list to do.  However, I would also like to see 
llSetSoundQueueing <http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/llSetSoundQueueing> 
fully implemented, if someone is inclined to do so.

The people making viewers out there created the 10 second rule or limit 
not just arbitrarily, but I think because they wanted to protect people 
from the liability of copy write infringement uploading copyright 
material.  Not sure.  But please, let this not be the start of a three 
month long discussion on copyright again...

As far as I am concerned, I only want to play some nearly 500 year old 
folk music.  I think I may be able to get away with that. 
llSetSoundQueueing 
<http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/llSetSoundQueueing> is definately on my 
wish list.  It also helps me make longer less repeditive ambient sounds 
in my forst.  With the script playing a longer sound clip for a forest 
you don't hear that one bird that goes off every ten seconds till you 
want to run out of the woods grasping your head screaming.  (lol).

Your Friend,

InuYasha.
