YASP V2.0beta - Yet another sound player.

This tool allow Concierto SoundModule owner to play sound samples.

Sample formats :
	- Only AIFF for now. (see "Todo" section for the future enhancements)

Features :
	- Direct-from-disk for large samples
	- Use of the concierto.library (NO AHI ...)
	- Dual-buffering for best performances
	- MUI Interface

Description :
	This is the third release of YASP.
	I was bored by the playback problems i got when using the AHI driver for the Concierto. So,
	I decided to program my own sound-player (I love the Play16 tool).

	No documentation yet : this is only an "evaluation" release. Please, contact-me for more infos.

Usage :
	- From cli/shell window, type "yasp ?" for command line options.
	- Just type "yasp verbose" to get the asl requester.

	- Type CTRL-C while playing to skip to the next sample
	- Type CTRL-D while playing to end playback

	- If you wan to use the MUI GUI, enter "yasp gui" at the shell prompt.

Todo :
	- Support for more sound sample formats (8SVX, WAVE, AIFF-ADPCM4 ...)
	- Some kind of sepctrum analyser or level-meters
	- Tell me ...

Requirements :
	- asl.library
	- concierto.library
	- a 68020 or faster CPU
	- MUI v3

History :
	v1.0 - Initial "evaluation" release.
	v1.1 - Some bug fix in the commandline parser and the playback routine.
	v2.0beta - Complete re-design : now Yasp spawn a separate task for playback.
               Added MUI GUI.

Enjoy it!
