public class AudioClient
extends MudClient
This class is similar to the MudClient, but instead of returning strings which are sent to it from the mud, it pipes them through a text->speech program and returns a way to play those strings to anyone using the client.

Method Index

o dealWithInputLine(String)

We're overriding this function so that instead of just sending the string straight to whoever's interested, we turn it into audio first.

Methods

o dealWithPrefixInputLine 
  protected boolean dealWithPrefixInputLine(String inputLine)
We're overriding this function so that instead of just sending the string straight to whoever's interested, we turn it into audio first. is this the right place to do this? hmmm this is tricky. I shouldn't have a null prefix, 'cause any line with a prefix also has to have a tag. so since i have to have a tag, and many lines don't have tags, what do I do with the lines without tags? Those are the lines I"m most likely to want to speak right now. and for that matter, how can I allow someone to specify interest in every tag? for now, just print everything we get to the speech synthesizer, and do everything else the mudclient normally does.
