A
software
company
headed up by
Thomas Dolby
which specializes in
audio applications
for the
web
. Formerly known as
HeadSpace
.
The
audio
player
created by the company. The player is a
plug-in
application for
browsers
which allows more
seamless
integration
of
audio
into
web pages
- i.e. you can have
background noise
without
spawning
an
external process
, and you can
associate
sounds
with
UI elements
. The player is able to achieve considerable
compression
because it is assumed that most or all of the
sounds
it needs are already present on the machine; thus, it can simply ship
MIDI
data or the equivalent. Unfortunatlely, if this assumption fails, you either have to bundle your sounds in a
proprietary format
and
send them across the wire
before using them, or be satisified with
piss-poor
compression.
