Sfront project compiles MPEG 4 Structured Audio (MP4-SA) bitstreams into efficient C programs that generate audio when executed. MP4-SA is a standard for normative algorithmic sound, that combines an audio signal processing language (SAOL) with score languages (SASL, and the legacy MIDI File Format).

Under Linux and Mac OS X, sfront supports real-time, low-latency audio input/output, local MIDI input from soundcards, and networked MIDI input using RTP and SIP. A SIP server hosted on the Berkeley campus manages sessions. The documentation includes a book about SAOL programming.

What's New in This Release:
This release defaults to writing 16-bit WAV and AIFF files, and the command line flags for specifying 16-bit WAV and AIFF files now work correctly.
In addition, bugs were fixed in the documentation and implementation of the custom control driver API.
