Summary: sound software toy/tools

MixView is a nifty sound sample editor for X.
I ported it and did some cursory tests.
The source tree and binary are in netcom.com:pub/thinman/mixview.tar.Z

This is only a semi-port.  I haven't installed any
sound cards or drivers on the 386bsd machine, so
I haven't added the code to record or play samples
to MixView.  Someone will have to do this to make
it fully functional.  Mixview has sources for "play"
for several machines; on 386 v.3.2 I hacked it to
use the mono 8-bit SB driver on that machine.
There are no sources for "record", you'll have to
code it all from scratch.

Also, MixView only reads files in the SoundFile format.
This is a deviant of the format used by the Csound/Ircam 
academic computer music nexus.  SOX will translate
sounds into and out of this format.  SOX is available in
the same directory as st.[1-9].Z, in sharfile format.
