pyesd - A Python interface to the ESound Daemon
===============================================

Copyright (C) 1999 Michael A. Muller

pyesd consists of a SWIGed wrapper around the standard ESD library and a
small set of classes that encapsulate this functionality.

Installation
------------

On UNIX systems, type the following:

   ./configure
   make
   make install

You should now be able to run the test program:

   esdtest

This creates a pleasant bell sound sample, caches it on the server, plays
it, and frees it.

You should also be able to run the "esdinfo" program, which displays all of
the information known to the server.

You don't need SWIG to compile pyesd: SWIG output files are included in the
distribution.  However, you'll need it if you want to change the interface.
