Play a beep (sound)

[schef]

Is it possible? I would want to try to write a simple app in python.

Term48 implements the terminal BEL character as a screen flash, and doesn't make the system audibly beep. Linking to the audio system should be doable from python though, but I am not familiar with how to do it myself. Most of the stuff I found on the topic point to winsound (Windows only) or suggest printing a BEL character, which will just make Term48 flash the screen.

Ok..i tried to cat something to /dev/snd/* but i had permission denied. I installed pyglet and tried loading a wav file but i got some other riffformat error. I will try something more.

For Python, it should be possible to make python extension wrapping ALSA.

Hi,

you may play any sound easily through Term48 using lib-nixtla-audio, based on OpenAL; https://github.com/nicaraguabinary/lib-nixtla-audio

I had to make some very slight ajustments to have it compile for bb10 https://github.com/berryamin/lib-nixtla-audio/tree/compile_on_ElCapitan_for_bb10
