Media Extension¶

The reason for this extension is to define not only where sources are spatialised, but
also to assign content (media files, live inputs, internet streams) to a virtual sound
source position.

descriptors:

draft SpatDIF OSC-commands would be:

/spatdif/media/source/1/type adc
/spatdif/media/source/1/channel 1

/spatdif/media/source/2/type file
/spatdif/media/source/2/path /path/to/my/audiofile.wav

Question: What to do with stereo and multichannel files ?

TODO: Research what other formats are doing in this regard
(EDL edit decision lists in film/video or broadcast wave format)

draft SpatDIF XML-notation would be:

  <spatdif>
    <media>
      <source="1">
        <type="adc"/>
        <channel="1"/>
      </source>
      <source="2">
        <type="file"/>
        <path="/path/to/my/audiofile.wav"/>
        <channel="1"/>
      </source>
    </media>
  </spatdif>
