[gaim-migrate @ 15256] 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. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

SILC Gaim Plugin
================

This is Gaim protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet Live 
Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, 
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC 
protocol implementation.

To include the SILC into Gaim, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix 
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the 
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell for the Gaim ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as simply as:

	./configure

if pkg-config is installed in your system.  If it is isn't it's done as:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the Toolkit cannot be located the SILC will not be compiled into the 
Gaim.
