morse2.c

Another morse code program that uses select

Description

Copyright (C) 4Front Technologies, 2002-2004. Released under GPLv2/CDDL.

This program is a significantly more complicated version of morse.c. It uses the select system call to be able to handle keyboard input and audio output at the same time. It shows how to prevent output underruns by writing silent samples to the audio device when there is no "payload" signal to play.

What the program does is playing randomly selected morse symbols (based on the command line options). It then waits until the users hits a key. If the input character matches the morse output then the program continues by playing another morse character. If there was an error then the next character is repeated. The Esc key is used to stop the program.

Parts on this program are common with morse.c and commented only there.

The morse3.c program is a slightly different version of this one.

Next write whatever we have in the buffer. Note that this write will block but that time is at most the time required to play one morse code character. There is no need to avoid blocking because it doesn't cause any annoying delays.

This is often the case with audio application. While many programmers think blocking is evil it's actually programmer's best friend.
