redpen686 posted modified sounds to gaim-devel:
"The tones were sampled at 44.1 KHz (with a range of up to 22.05 KHz),
which is fine, but since the tones are only up to ~3 to 4 KHz, a lot of
space could be saved by downsampling.
I went to 11,025 Hz, since it is already enough for these frequencies,
and it's also the lowest common denominator for soundcards (rather than
8 or 16 KHz, for example).
The 'alert' sound needed a lowpass filter, but only because of the
high-pitched attack, which people won't notice anyway.
All are still 16-bit, and in stereo (except for the 'alert' sound, which
didn't need it), and so should sound virtually identical."
These are significantly smaller files and I didn't notice a difference in
the sound (of course, my speakers suck). They're also louder, which is good.
I'm committing these so people can try them out.

Notes on keeping GAIM OS independant ------------------------------------ General ------- - Use G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S and G_DIR_SEPARATOR for paths - Use g_getenv, g_snprintf, g_vsnprintf - Use gaim_home_dir instead of g_get_home_dir or g_getenv("HOME") - Make sure when including win32dep.h that it is the last header to be included. - Open binary files when reading or writing with 'b' mode. e.g: fopen("somefile", "wb"); Not doing so will open files in windows using defaut translation mode. i.e. newline -> <CR><LF> Paths ----- - DATADIR, LOCALEDIR & LIBDIR are defined in wingaim as functions. Doing the following will therefore break the windows build: printf("File in DATADIR is: %s\n", DATADIR G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S "pic.png"); it should be: printf("File in DATADIR is: %s%s%s\n", DATADIR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, "pic.png"); PLUGINS & PROTOS ---------------- - G_MODULE_EXPORT all functions which are to be accessed from outside the scope of its "dll" or "so". (E.G. gaim_plugin_init) - G_MODULE_IMPORT all global variables which are located outside your dynamic library. (E.G. connections) (Not doing this will cause "Memory Access Violations" in Win32)
