Hi, welcome to the forums. Frankly its really your preference. 64 bit has the advantage of better speed/security/stability. However some apps and eyecandy are only for 32 bit and 32 bit has more preinstalled. If you into games or just want the extra apps from Ultamatix, I say go for 32 bit gamers. Ultimate Edition is great you can't go wrong.
I will break this down to you and will show you what you do not see yet, I have been playing with "libsnack"...
all applications I write if they do not do so to reflect 64 bit, I provide an example, I have posted this elsewhere...
w/o a doubt I correct things to make things happen, be it 64 or 32...

What happens in the above code? Read my comments not my job, but still make it so you do not have to worry about it.
if [ "$architecture" = "x86_64" ]; then
tests to see if u use 32 or 64 bit architecture and takes care of business accordingly. What I have is 10X of anything you can download (funny I have not shared with my admin), some features are not implemented yet, note the word yet.
Before I am done you will all be programmers...
Lets play with python...
- Code: Select all
import wave, ossaudiodev
sound = wave.open('saw.wav' , 'rb')
fr = sound.getframerate()
nc = sound.getnchannels()
nf = sound.getnframes()
data = sound.readframes(nf)
sound.close()
dsp = ossaudiodev.open('/dev/dsp','w')
dsp.setparameters(ossaudiodev.AFMT_S16_NE, nc, fr)
dsp.write(data)
dsp.close()
import wave, ossaudiodev
sound = wave.open('saw.wav' , 'rb')
fr = sound.getframerate()
nc = sound.getnchannels()
nf = sound.getnframes()
data = sound.readframes(nf)
sound.close()
## take to the player for program 5
dsp = ossaudiodev.open('/dev/dsp','w')
dsp.setparameters(ossaudiodev.AFMT_S16_NE, nc, fr)
dsp.write(data)
dsp.close()
saw wave attached... code executed in the same folder will yield the same results.
Now we are doing python... MP3 integration is coming.
Just my 2 cents,
