 Check out /proc/kcore also, this is the current contents of your entire
 memory ;)

 Hi Bastiaan, I'd definitely want to try that one, but I would have to run
pd as root then, or is there another way?

Hi all, thanks for the suggestions,
I found out one way so far, with soundfiler and -raw 128 2 2 b.

Now, did I remember correctly that in /proc/... you can also read something
that changes continuously, depending on the state of the machine?
afaict, vmlinuz is just a static file.

About /dev/dsp, I tried that modprobe snd-pcm-oss thing, but still no
/dev/dsp.
Not that I would really need it now if I can do all this in pd anyway...
It's just that I noticed it wasn't there when trying to do the original
'cat' trick as a quick test.

gr,
Tim

 Ah, right, I forgot the format of the array files, its a list of floats,
 i.e. space separated values.  You can use mrpeach/binfile to read any
 file byte-by-byte.  Then use those bytes as floats.

I bet that /dev/urandom and vmlinuz are undistinguishable from each other. 
I'm not going to try, though.


The main difference is the header of vmlinuz, which is the uncompressed 
machine code for a gzip decompressor of the rest of the file.

the name vmlinuz means something like « virtual-memory linux, zipped », by 
opposition to the original vmlinux files of early nineties. This means 
that the sound will be highly entropic, as an efficient form of 
compression tends to make all combination of bits equally likely. This 
makes compressed files become undistinguishable from white noise.


you get a lot more interesting textures by playing noncompressed files, 
even though their «sampling» scale does not match presumed samples of 
sound : samples of sound are assumed to be 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits each, 
uniformly. Pentium-compatible executables can have such multiples and 
other multiples of 8 bits up to about 120 bits in the same opcode, but 
it's happening in an irregular fashion... each file has a mix of elements 
of various sizes.


However, those executables are still a lot more regular than a gzip or 
zip2 file, which are made by reading pieces of 8 bits and rewriting them 
as a variable number of bits, 3, 4, 5, ..., 9, 10, 11, whatever is most 
efficient. (Well, that's only half of what that compression method does, 
but it should give you a good idea of how scrambled things are already !)

Re: [PD] cat /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-30-generic /dev/dsp ?

2011-09-12 Thread Miller Puckette
table's read message only reads in ascii files.  To read binaries use
soundfiler which can be asked to ignore header information and read
in raw 2s-complement data.  Or if you really want to jump a few feet, try
reading it in as floating point.

/dev/dsp belonged to the OSS sound system which ALSA is supposed to be able
to emulate.  depending on your configuration, you might be able to do
sudo modprobe snd-pcm-oss and get it that just worked for me on
Fedora anyhow.
