Can i play a second audio in a different channel?

[danilosantosdev]

Hi guys,

I have the necessity to play a second or third audio. Can i do that in different channels?

Thanks!

Ok, this means being able to pass a -c param to aplay. Can you confirm?

I think we can easily implement this and being able to pass the channel as a config param to the constructor.

I don't have a mac, does also afplay support the -c cli param?

[danilosantosdev]

I'm thinking something about this:

var music = new Sound();
music.channel(1);
music.play('/path/to/the/file/filename.wav');

var music2 = new Sound();
music2.channel(2);
music2.play('/path/to/the/file/filename2.wav');

Is it possible?

Thanks for the feedback.

[roccomuso]

Yeah totally possible. Also we can think of this:

var music = new Sound({channel: 1})
music.play('/path/filename.wav')
...

The only issue is that we should support it also on Mac. And I'm not sure if afplay support channel as cli param.

[danilosantosdev]

Pretty good!

I don't have a mac, i don't know if support channel as cli param.

That's a nice idea, I would love to be able to do that too.

I'm also having this problem. Can you guys implement this or recommend another package?

[roccomuso]

I'm gonna implement this in a bit. Stay tuned.

[danilosantosdev]

@roccomuso thank you so much for your support.

We're anxious to see this implementation.

[abhnerAraujo]

@roccomuso you are the real MVP. I can't wait for this haha

[roccomuso]

channel support, shipped with v1.2.0. It should work. Let me know

[abhnerAraujo]

@roccomuso Can you explain what was changed?

[roccomuso]

Now passing the channel param to aplay.

Guys, does even the bare aplay cmd works for you? aplay -c 1 myfile.wav

@roccomuso I ran your command, but i'm not sure what to expect. I'm testing in my headphones, should it play in only one ear or in both?
