experimental prototype, will hang sometimes. probably an issue in mirage-crunch, or my use of it.

what is this

it's a unikernel that plays embedded sound in qubes, or on unix (through libSDL).

unix:

mirage configure -t unix
make
./main.native

qubes:

. yomake

notes

Ideally we'd plug in some parsers for various sound formats.

For now, there is only stupid, raw playback of WAV files in the expected format (two-channel 44100 Hz, pcm_s16le).

We don't even parse the wav, but play the header as though it was sound.

Converting your favorite music to WAV/RIFF:

# I couldn't figure out how to limit to two channels:
ffmpeg -i SOURCE.mp3 '-b:a' '44100' -codec pcm_s16le OUTPUT.wav
