sound on emacs COCOA

sound on emacs COCOA

[Andrea Crotti]

I have the following version:

GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.3.0, NS apple-appkit-1038.29) of
2010-05-09 on linc

I would like (just for fun) to have the typewriter sound when I type in
emacs, maybe even with the "carriage return" sound ;) This version
apparently doesn't support sound natively, so is there a nice way to
play sounds with emacs on OSX?

You could run an external program to play a sound.  For example,
playsound, from macports.  http://www.macport.org

  (shell-command  "/opt/local/bin/playsound /usr/local/share/sounds/key.wav")


Notice that advices on a subr such as self-insert-command are not called
when the subr is called from C code.  So you'd have to use
pre-command-hook or post-command-hook.

Well the keyboard in the lab is really good but also very noisy, that
extra sound will not be noticed ;)
