I tried this also, reading in WAV-Files as a String and then converting it into the appropriate format. That was really nearly infinitely slow. Now I'm doing all low-level sample and sound card stuff in C and use Haskell to controll it. It's a good balance, I think. I guess it would be possible purely in Haskell with the Binary module, but I never was sure which of the many was working on my Mac. So I didn't really try. (Can anybody comment on that?)

I am currently writing a small sound/dsp application in haskell, and I am having some problems deciding on the best way to do I/O from soundfiles. I am currently only implementing raw data input, and I am looking for code examples that demonstrate the best way(s) to implement reading in and processing large amounts of data. Any help is welcome Immanuel *************************************************************************** His endeavours to improve these conditions by innovations in the current methods of teaching are fully described in his writings; these made him unpopular with his brethren in the order and led to his removals to the monastery of Pomposa near Ferrara, Italy.
