AdaVox - The Sound Software

AdaVox is an Ada95 project created by Warren W. Gay (ve3wwg).

This Ada95 software was intended to replace the aging wavplay software that has been available for Linux and FreeBSD. While AdaVox is not complete yet (it does not record files yet), it does make an excellent NETSCAPE helper application. It is able to play most *.wav, *.snd and *.au files.

The project is currently on hold. It may be resumed in the Canadian winter months, if time permits.

AdaVox features:

  • Plays a wide range of *.wav files:
    • Standard PCM wave files
    • Microsoft ADPCM compression format
    • IMA/DVI ADPCM compression format
    • u-Law wave files
    • a-Law wave files
  • Plays Sun’s *.au/*.snd file formats:
    • Standard PCM samples
    • u-Law compression format
    • a-Law compression format
  • Plays multiple files in sequence
  • Endian neutral (good for PowerPC)
  • Ada95 sound packages can be used for applications
  • Optional “realtime” priority for reliable operation
  • Tested on FreeBSD
  • Tested on Linux (RedHat 7.0, 2.2.16 kernel)
  • Netscape friendly

AdaVox equires:

  • Installed and working sound card
  • Working GNAT compiler
