    Currently in beta stage, the implementation is still incomplete but most important features of the format are usable, according to this table:
    

    A2ML Feature	Implementation
    Cue / Chunk / Sound
    Master Section / Section
    Action sequences
    3D controls	Directivity, Macroscopic and Obstruction not working, rest is OK
    Mix controls
    DSP controls
    Tempo controls
    Sound controls
    Spawn controls	Incomplete
    Trigger controls	Incomplete
    Auditor controls
    Cues priority
    Chunks transitions
    Animations	Static animations + event animations works

    
    A demo application is bundled with the library source. This application allow to test-drive A2ML documents by loading them from an ftp or http URI, with a control surface generating events for the means of testing.
    
    Please note that the ARIA API needs the FMOD sound system API to be compiled.
