-
- 3.3 WWW Browser
-
- To have your internet browser launch IAP after a link to a GSM, GSD, WAV or AU
- file has been selected:
-
- - Add a new MIME Type definition for GSM6.10 in your WWW browser: audio/x-gsm
- - Set file extension for this type as gsm
- - Select DirAudio.EXE as the application launched when receiving audio/x-gsm media type.
-
- For Netscape:
-
- 1- Select Options|General Preferences|Helpers
- 2- Click on the "Create New Type" button.
-
- MIME TYPE: audio
- MIME SUBTYPE: x-gsm
-
- 3-Set File Extension as: gsm,gsd
- 4- Select the "Launch Application" radio button.
- 5- Enter the pathname of IAP.EXE Example: c:\diraudio\iap.exe
- 6- Press the "OK" button.
-
- Repeat the same procedure for TrueSpeech WAV
- Edit existing application/dsptype type or Click on the "Create New Type" button.
-
- MIME TYPE: application

-
-
- 4- Listening to real time Audio
-
- There are two methods to access a GSM / WAV file from a HTTP (WWW) server:
-
- First, by selecting the File|Open Location option on the main menu and
- entering the full URL of the file you wish to fetch. For instance:
-
- http://www.cam.org/~noelbou/ex1.gsm will fetch the example from my WWW
- site on my service provider's WWW server. (you can use your browser's
- Copy Location function (Right click on the link) and then paste it
- in IAP Open Location's dialog box by using <SHIFT-INS>).
-
- Second, by clicking on a link to a "description file" on a WWW page. For
- instance:
-
- EX1.GSD
-
- will fetch the description file named ex1.GSD on my WWW site. IAP will be
- spawned by your WWW browser and the file will instruct the player on which
- GSM file to fetch from the net.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- 5- Publishing streaming Audio on a WWW server
-
- Publishing your audio files on the net is very simple. Here's the procedure.
-
- 1- Create your GSM6.10 / Ms GSM file by using the recording function of IAP or using Windows 95
- sound recorder(Start | Programs | Multimedia | Sound Recorder).
- (Make sure the Ms GSM codec have been installed.)
-
- You can also create a GSM6.10 file by using the IAP's Compress function:
- Start by openning a 8000 Hz 16 bits PCM (WAV) file or from an 8000 Hz 8bits "Mu-Law" encoded file (.AU).(Sun/Next)
- and use the Compress command.
-
- 2- Use IAP's Send File function to upload the file and description file to your WWW site.
-
- 3- Create a link to your description file in an HTML page. The link would be defined as something like:
-
- <A HREF="ex1.gsd">Listen</A>
-
- Or follow the following procedure:
-
- 2a- Create a "Description File" with extension .GSD. This is a simple ASCII text file which contains a reference to
- the .GSM file that you want to give access to.
-
- The Description File or meta file should have the following form:
-
- IAP_URL|protocol://host[:port]/path/filename
-
- Where:
- IAP_URL| is a fixed string used for identification. The | (vertical bar) character is the delimiter. This will be used
- in future versions for play lists and WWW site audio index.
- protocol is for now fixed to: http
- host is the host where the file is located.
- port is the optional port (default to 80. Used only when the HTTP server use a different port)
- path is the path to the file on the given host
- filename is the GSM6.10, Ms GSM or TrueSpeech file name (with extension .GSM / WAV)
-
- For instance:
- IAP_URL|http://www.cam.org/~noelbou/ex1.gsm or
- IAP_URL|http://ihs2.unn.ac.uk:8080/~ihbb1/hal.gsm
- IAP_URL|http://www.atlas.co.uk/omni/113/30s_22khzgsm.wav
-
- Note that the referenced (.GSM) file may reside on any WWW server on the Internet.
-
- 2b- Upload the .GSD (and .GSM) file(s) to your WWW site and make sure the .GSM file that is
- referenced in your description file is available on the Net.
-
- Setting up your HTTP server
-
- The HTTP (WWW) server must be set up to accept the GSM, GSD and optionaly, TSP file types
- (Extension: .GSM,.GSD and .TSP).
-
- This is done by adding new MIME type definitions to the server (usually in a configuration file).
- The new MIME types to add are:
-
- TYPE/SUB-TYPE EXTENSIONS
-
- audio/x-gsm gsm, gsd (For GSM6.10 files)
-
- audio/x-wav wav (For Ms GSM (WIN 95))
-
- application/dsptype tsp (For True Speech)
-
- The procedure to add a new MIME type varies from one server to another but is quite
- straightforward and should not cause any major headaches to your server maintenance
- peoples or your service provider.
