5.5 Sound Board

At present, sound support is very WPC-specific. The sound board is an external device that is controlled by sending commands over a serial-like interface. Two flavors of sound board are supported: WPC, and DCS. The same APIs are used in either case.

sound_send
Sends a command to the sound board. The command may be 8-bit or 16-bit. The meaning of the command argument varies widely.

see Sound and Music Effects for other APIs that can be used.
