A small XM (FastTracker II Extended Module) player library. Designed for easy integration in demos and such, and provides timing functions for easy sync (well, not yet, but it's planned).
Written in C11 and released under the WTFPL license, version 2.
Three example programs are provided.
-
xmtoauwill play a module and output a.aufile to standard output. Example usages:-
Directly play a module (requires the
soxpackage):./xmtoau my_module.xm | play - -
Convert the data to a .wav file on the fly, then play it with
mplayer:./xmtoau my_module.xm | ffmpeg -i - file.wav mplayer file.wav
-
-
xmtoalsais a simple player that uses the ALSA library. -
xmbenchis a benchmark program.
Here are some interesting modules, most showcase unusual or advanced tracking techniques (and thus are a good indicator of a player's accuracy):
- Lamb - Among the stars
- Raina - Cyberculosis
- Raina - Slumberjack
- Strobe - One for all
- Strobe - Paralysicical death

Autovibrato is not supported yet.

Amiga frequency tables are not supported yet.
-
Only nearest interpolation at the moment (need to figure out a way to do linear interpolation that doesn't triple the CPU usage).
