[chuck-users] snd file writing

[Daniel Trueman]

i just want the opposite of SndBuf.read(); want to be able to open a file and write to it all at once, even if it causes hiccups in the VM. but as far as i can tell it's not possible. i'm pretty sure i can cram samples into SndBuf using valueAt, doing the opposite of what we do now to load samples into LiSa, but i haven't tried that either... so maybe it's all a big mess.

thanks,
dan

I also think we might be able to use a file output in a function that takes a LiSa as a argument and creates a audio file. This would, however, require implementing the file format of whatever type of file we pick in ChucK. It's also a rather theoretical approach as I never heard of anyone doing this. In my experience that means trying will unearth bugs (not a bad thing, as such).
