3 Check here, until I get to write more of this README: 3 SDL_sound is a library that handles the decoding of several popular sound file
4 formats, such as .WAV and .MP3. It is meant to make the programmer's sound
5 playback tasks simpler. The programmer gives SDL_sound a filename, or feeds
6 it data directly from one of many sources, and then reads the decoded
7 waveform data back at her leisure. If resource constraints are a concern,
8 SDL_sound can process sound data in programmer-specified blocks. Alternately,
9 SDL_sound can decode a whole sound file and hand back a single pointer to the
10 whole waveform. SDL_sound can also handle sample rate, audio format, and
11 channel conversion on-the-fly and behind-the-scenes, if the programmer
12 desires.
