[Gllug] Linux Sound APIs

>    We had plenty of difficulties placing three- or four- tube colour cameras in front of speaker stacks, and even modern broadcast cameras using three semiconductor chips bonded direct to the surface of an ice block will tremor  when hit by the sounds produced by a stack of twenty or thirty speakers, each rated at a kilowatt. 

No moving parts in electronics hey?<g>

> It can also be a pain for the cameraman. We have ear defenders and noise cancelling headphones, but the rest of the body can also vibrate. 

Ja. Especially when you are pushing 130 to 140dB.<g> You can't speak
properly, it comes out staccato or maybe it just sounds that way, I
didn't investigate. But you can certainly _feel_ the base.

cheers
