Snd 7.14:

Many updates from Mike Scholz and Kjetil Matheussen.

channels-combined is now the default channel-style.

find changed to find-channel to avoid collision with Scheme's srfi-1.
   default-output-type -> default-output-header-type,
   default-output-format -> default-output-data-format

output-name-hook now takes an argument, the current output file name.

removed save-options (use save-state).

added 'Extract' button to Edit|File:Save-as dialogs (to extract a channel).

added 'Reset' buttons to File:New and the raw data dialog.

added 'just-sounds' and 'play selected sound' buttons to various dialogs.
   and some labels are actually pull-down menus.

error handling much improved in various dialogs, although there's a way's
   to go still.

removed View:Error history menu item.  A Scheme/Ruby replacement would
   be trivial (snd-error-hook + string-append, add-to-menu + info-dialog).
   This menu item dates back to pre-Guile days when error handling was
   primitive; I'm currently moving toward a system where all errors are
   reported and handled in the context of the error (not via some global
   dialog).

file names and other choices are now persistent across most dialog actions.

use libfam (from fam or gamin -- file alteration monitor) in a few cases
   (more to come) -- auto-update-interval is ignored if fam is in use.  I'm
   still feeling my way around here -- if Snd hangs in fam or gamin, use
   the configuration switch --without-fam (and please tell me about it!).

removed edpos arg to make-snd->sample.

removed the possibility of saving a region via C-x w -- it just refers
   to the selection now.

folded gl-ruby.c into gl.c, xm-ruby.c into xm.c, xg-ruby.c into xg.c.
   (This was part of an attempt to use Gauche/Stklos/Chicken in place of Guile).

checked: gtk 2.6.8 and 2.7.0|1|2 (a pain), Fedora Core 4 (gcc 4.0), sbcl 0.9.2


gtk 2.7.* uses a library named Cairo for drawing and font stuff; there is
   currently a bug in this library that causes Snd to hang if you have lots
   of printout in the listener.  It also requires about 20 more libraries:

(On tap: replace the "current files" list in the View:Files dialog with
   a panel of operations applicable to the "previous files" list.  Add
   a preferences dialog, and some global way to get at all the filters.
   Add fam support to all the directory lists.  Insert/Insert-selection
   main menus; perhaps Rename/Append.  Key-binding sets to mimic other
   sound editors.  Much smarter completion choice presentation.  Built-in
   support for OGG, Flac, Speex, Mpeg, Midi etc (if the relevant programs are
   accessible during configuration).  Multiple copies of all dialogs (this
   works now for some dialogs).  Region browser save-as/mix/insert choices.
   Get rid of the yes-or-no dialog.)
