I'm sure that is covered in those Lucas Film papers on their system.
I guess their system trickers sound effects instead of synth sounds.
What is the date of the patent? I have not that patent available for
viewing at the moment.
I "invented" (sounds corny) a virtual memory system with whistles and bells
(prefetching) purposedly for use with audiofiles around '90. If the patent
dates earlier than that, then we should continue reading those papers.
(I even mailed a short notice on it to Octave list around '94.)
