Pick up sfront 0.69 2/18/01 at:

  http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/

Change log message:

 [1] Sfront is compliant
 with the COR1 document,
 a new MPEG Corrigenda that
 updates the SAOL language.
 See this appendix:

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/book/append/cor1/index.html

 of the MP4-SA Book to learn
 about the SAOL changes in COR1.
 Note that the book now reflects
 all COR1 changes too.

 [2] New alsaseq control driver
 written by Enrique Robledo
 Arnuncio, for MIDI control
 using the Linux ALSA sequencer.

 [3] Many bug fixes, including
 compliant global parameter
 krate determination when
 srate/krate is non-integral
 (thanks to Ross Bencina),
 Macintosh MPW compilation
 fixes (thanks to BUYO-BUYO-
 IGOR).

-----

I put the emphasis on getting a
correct sfront with COR1 semantics
out relatively quickly, rather than
getting good optimization performance
for the new features -- expect code
generation to get better in further
releases. Also expect to find bugs
in parts of COR1 semantics for sfront,
since my SAOL test suite only has a
few rudimentary COR1 tests so far.

My primary focus at this point is
on the upcoming networking additions
to sfront, although as COR1 related
bugs come in I'll be putting out
sfront bugfix releases ...
