]]> Comment on Second Life: Script-triggered Sounds and Viewer Audio Channels by SignpostMarv http://signpostmarv.name/2010/02/10/sl-script-triggered-sounds-and-viewer-audio-channels/comment-page-1/#comment-772 SignpostMarv Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:59:26 +0000 http://signpostmarv.name/?p=447#comment-772 Personally, I don't think it'd be an appropriate use of media streaming to pipe external MP3/Ogg Vorbis audio outside it's existing channel unless the playing field was levelled to allow script-triggered sounds to be made omnipresent and media/music to be made spacial it won't be as fun. Think along the lines of being able to have a script declare an object as being the spacial source for individual audio channels in a media/music stream, i.e. creating a pair of speaker objects, setting one to left channel, and the other to the right channel. This would likely improve immersion in a variety of scenarios: having your in-world TV hooked up to a virtual 5.1 surround sound system so you could practice placing the speakers before shifting furniture around your own home, or club having the speaker cabinets set as the spacial source so those wanting to use voice chat on the public parcel could congregate away from the speakers (similar to how one might behave in a physical club).

I can email you a picture but basically the ALT text are immediately displayed and they are overlapping. Then the images start to appear, and, if the image is not 24x24, it is NOT enforced. Suggestions? I probably have done something wrong... I have NOT imported the href="http://static.marvulous.co.uk/%C2%B5/css/reset.css" but the rest in the as per example... Thanks Benoit Hi

I will try it but I can say that the demo page under IE 6 looks quite bad and cascading... (I know "IE6 must die" and all that...) I'll try to check it at home (where I have a proper browser!)
