Audio?

Has anyone thought about representing audio effects in a UI file? People 
like buttons that go "bloop". Also, background music loops.

SVG has something about "aural stylesheets," but that seems to be intended
for display agents that can speechify bits of text out of the XML.

I'm still thinking about what to put in this space.

Player readiness

I just rewhacked my referees to behave the same way the Perl referee does: 
when the ref sends player_sat, player_stood, or any of the other volity.* 
config RPCs, it does *not* follow up with a burst of player_unready RPCs. 
The client is assumed to know that these RPCs implicitly unready everyone.

I also, not coincidentally, rewhacked Javolin to know this.

Wiki has been updated to explain these semantics.

Bonus round: zarf-barsoom <at> volity.net is now up and running. Although, 
Javolin isn't autofetching the UI file? What's up with that?

Yay, thanks.

My bad; fatfingered the setup in the bookkeeper's DB. It works now.
(Developer-driven parlor and UI file registration will absolutely be a
key feature of the volity.net web app.)

Yes, I'd like this too.

Going from memory here, but I'm fairly certain that Adobe's SVG viewer
uses sound simply by looking for sound-effect tags with an Adobe
namespace. OK, fouund an example:
http://www.kevlindev.com/tutorials/basics/miscellaneous/sound/

I was thinking of suggesting that Javolin have similar functionaliy.
Heck, no reason it couldn't treat these tags just like Adobe's viewer
does.
