Hey everybody (salut Laurent),
- Internal Modem will not be presented in order not to have the
modem system interfering with audio
About this audio-through-the-modem-connection thing, I'm currently
working on a project that has been relying on this capability (only
found on certain Macs, though, such as the iMac and PowerBook G4, but
not on iBooks for instance).
I am quite worried that it might stop being supported - as far as I
know, it currently works because there is a physical connection - a
wire - going from the modem chip to the sound chip on those Macs.
I know that you folks at Apple can't discuss future plans, but can
you suggest an alternative in case this wiring will disappear from
future PowerBooks or iMacs? Or in case I want to port my app to
CoreAudio? It's my last non-carbonized-yet project, because it
heavily relies on Open Transport Serial for serial communication.
Is there any hope there will always be the possibility to get decent
quality audio through the modem port?
And besides having this possibility on future machines, what about
Mac OS X? Is the input source simply not shown? Can I select it
programmatically?
Thanks...
Alberto.
P.S. In a later message, you wrote:
and that the modem that appears on 9 will not on X (what sense has
a modem in an audio system :-)) even if it can occupy one physical
codec input.
Well, telephony applications come to mind... :-)
