ANN: ALPY, 3D spatial sounds in Python

[Bram Stolk]

Announcement:

ALPY - The OpenAL/Python connection
version 1.0


I'm proud to announce ALPY, a layer between loki's OpenAL (see www.openal.org)
and Python (see www.python.org). ALPY is released under the GPL license.

ALPY allows you to create localized sound sources (in three dimensions)
by specifying a few simple things.

In Python script, this is a minimal test:

  from libal import *
  se = SoundEngine(22000);               # 22 KHz mix freq
  s  = SoundSource("softswitch.wav");
  s.SetPosition(-10,0,0);
  s.Play(1);                             # 1 for looping, 0 for single shot

Disclaimer: this is NOT a complete binding for the full OpenAL API.
Although I started out with this intention, I think that OpenAL is too low
level for a simple Python binding. Instead, the binding is a swigged (see 
www.swig.org) set of C++ classes.
