Re: [Freeciv-Dev] adding sound

[Bastian Hecht <basti@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the advice! I'm quite new to unix programming, so I didn't know
the possibility.
I wrote a small piece of code and it works fine. I'm going to try to run
it parallel to the client
program, so that the user needn't wait until the sound is completely
played.
So far, I added some combat sounds and a sound, when a city is built.
Looks quite easy..
