Changes for version 0.02 - 2000-09-11

  • added several new methods:
    • Opening/closing device
      • open
    • Direct read/write to device
      • dread
      • dwrite
    • I/O Control
      • channels
      • setduplex
      • setfmt
      • speed
  • The following methods are now deprecated:
    • getformat
    • queryformat
    • setchannels
    • setdevice
    • setformat
    • setrate
  • The following sample-format constants are now exported on use:
    • AFMT_MU_LAW
    • AFMT_A_LAW
    • AFMT_IMA_ADPCM
    • AFMT_U8
    • AFMT_S16_LE
    • AFMT_S16_BE
    • AFMT_S8
    • AFMT_U16_LE
    • AFMT_U16_BE
    • AFMT_MPEG
  • Consequently, the 'format' parameter in the init() method should be passed in constant rather than string form (string form is deprecated). On a similar note, the open flag should be passed as a Fcntl.pm constant rather than a string (also deprecated).
