Allocating Signals

Q: I have two tasks, A and B. I want to have task A send a signal to task B using SendSignal() and I want task B to receive the signal using WaitSignal(). Which task allocates the signal, A the sender, or B the receiver?

A: B, the receiver.

3-D sound

Q: How can I create 3-D sound?

A: Real-time 3D Sound generated by the 3DO DSPP is not yet supported.

You can encode a stereo soundtrack using a variety of commercially available techniques, including Q-Sound or Dolby Pro-Logic encoder, and then play them back just like any other stereo soundtrack with the sound file player, DataStreamer, etc. The Dolby encoded soundtracks requires a Surround Sound decoder and a home theatre system to hear the 3D effect.
