6 SDL_sound _REQUIRES_ Simple Directmedia Layer (SDL) to function, and cannot
|
|
|
7 be built without it. You can get SDL from http://www.libsdl.org/. SDL_sound
|
|
|
8 has only been tried with the SDL 1.2 series, but may work on older versions.
|
|
|
9 Reports of success or failure are welcome.

11 Some optional external libraries that SDL_sound can use and where to find them:
|
|
239
|
12 SMPEG (used to decode MP3s): http://www.lokigames.com/development/smpeg.php3
|
|
|
13 libvorbis (used to decode OGGs): http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/
|
|
|
14 libFLAC (used to decode FLACs): http://flac.sourceforge.net/
|
|
|
15 libModPlug (used to decode MODs, etc): http://modplug-xmms.sourceforge.net/
|
|
|
16 libMikMod (used to decode MODs, etc, too): http://www.mikmod.org/
|
|

|

|
|
|
18 These external libraries are OPTIONAL. SDL_sound will build and function
|
|
|
19 without them, but various sound file formats are not supported unless these
|
|
|
20 libraries are available. Unless explicitly disabled during initial build
|
|
239
|
21 configuration, SDL_sound always supports these file formats internally:
|
|
232
|
22
|
|
239
|
23 - Microsoft .WAV files (uncompressed and MS-ADPCM encoded).
|
|
|
24 - Creative Labs .VOC files
|
|
|
25 - Shorten (.SHN) files
|
|
|
26 - Audio Interchange format (AIFF) files
|
|
|
27 - Sun Audio (.AU) files
|
|
|
28 - MIDI files
|
|
|
29 - Raw waveform data

38 Win32 users:
|
|
|
39 Download http://icculus.org/SDL_sound/downloads/SDL_sound_win32.zip and
|
|
|
40 unzip it in the root of the source tree (the directory with SDL_sound.c,
|
|
|
41 etc). This will give you Visual C++ project files and some other needed
|
|
|
42 code.
|
|
|
43
|
|
228
|
44 There will be a shared library and a binary called "playsound".
