What people has said about AHI version 4

The first time I heard about AHI was from the news group. Then I downloaded the user and developer package from Martin's homepage and played with it at home. I was very impressed. The first thing which come into my mind was: "This would be the new audio standard" and look how it's going now :). I started immediately to make a NotePlayer to APlayer with AHI and it took me only a few days before the first version was finished.
If I have some problems or bug reports, I contacted Martin and he is very helpful. Thanks for all your help :)

AHI is the greatest thing since sliced toast, finally our DraCo is no longer a mute! When people realise what AHI is about it will be as big as CybergraphX. It's time we got rid of the 8-bit audio limit! Great work Martin!

AHI is the easiest way for programmers to implement support for various audio cards. No more messing up with hard-to-figure-out outdated or non existing programming documentations. Just use AHI for it and relax.. Best general purpose Sound API for Amiga ever!

Finally there's a powerful retargetable audio standard for Amiga!

Major changes since last release

• The MC68000 processor is now supported.
• A sound card with DSP can chose to do post-processing of the audio stream.
• Negative volume and pan values allows channels to be sent to your surround speaker.
• A DSP engine has been added. Currently only echo/delay is implemented.
• Stereo samples can be played now.
• A high-level device interface has been implemented. This allows multiple programs to play and record at the same time.
• An AUDIO: dosdevice is included for easy playback/recording.
• And last but not least, the "AHI compatible" logo!
