Re: [opensource-dev] 3D soound

Don't forget time difference of arrival of sounds at both ears is what we use to place a sound in the space around us. Amplitude is much less important than the L-R "dual mono" crowd would have you believe. If a sound is only heard by one ear, you can't place it, so it goes inside your head,

Re: [opensource-dev] 3D soound

The only thing is: IIRC, all non-media (sound effects from scripts or collisions/etc and voice, but not parcel media or MOAP) sound sources in SL are played back as mono. You get 3D/stereo sounds because those mono sounds are played in a virtual 3D space, with each sound "located" at the object th
