public class AudioReadBuffer extends Transformer
In each iteration, an IntToken is read from the input port, if there is a token available. This token specifies the address of the buffer element to read from. The address is zero-based, so address 0 corresponds to the first element and addres bufferLength -1 corresponds to the last element. The sample value at the specified buffer location is converted to a DoubleToken and sent to the output port.
If an element outside of the valid address range is specified, then a DoubleToken with value 0.0 is output. If the the specified address is greater than bufferLength -1, then this actor will return false in postfire.
This actor does not currently support multichannel sound files, so if a stereo sound file is specified, only the left channel will be used. This limitation may be lifted in a future version of this actor.
The audio samples that are read from the file are converted to DoubleTokens that may range from [-1.0, 1.0]. Thus, the output type of this actor is DoubleToken.
Usage
The sourceURL parameter should be set to the name of the file, specified as a fully qualified URL. It is possible to load a file from the local file system by using the prefix "file://" instead of "http://". Relative file paths are allowed. To specify a file relative to the current directory, use "../" or "./". For example, if the current directory contains a file called "test.wav", then sourceURL should be set to "file:./test.wav". If the parent directory contains a file called "test.wav", then sourceURL should be set to "file:../test.wav". To reference the file test.wav, located at "/tmp/test.wav", sourceURL should be set to "file:///tmp/test.wav" The default value is "file:///tmp/test.wav".
There are security issues involved with accessing files and audio resources in applets. Applets are only allowed access to files specified by a URL and located on the machine from which the applet is loaded. The .java.policy file may be modified to grant applets more privileges.
FIXME: This actor should extend AudioReadBuffer?
Note: Requires Java 2 v1.3.0 or later.

The IntToken read from the input port specifies the buffer address to read from. The valid address range is 0 to bufferLength -1. If an invalid address is read, then the value 0.0 is output. If the the specified address is greater than bufferLength -1, then this actor will return false in postfire. The audio sample is converted to a DoubleToken with range [-1.0, 1.0] and sent to the output. Note that if a stereo sound file is specified, only the left channel will be used.
