edelib will not play sounds any more. I just
removed
sound code from it which was pretty buggy, especially asynchronous
playing. Actually, the only asynchronous part was buggy, mostly due
quick threading support addition.
Alternatives? Two possible options that I'm thinking
currently: use
Audiere (maybe fork
it), a very good sound library or develop own. Or maybe use both
ideas; Audiere have very cool API and it can be inspiration for EDE
sound library design.
Why Audiere fork? Besides cool API, there are few things I
would like to change and remove; also the last update on the web is
dating on 2006 and repository code gets updates from time to time
(like recent native ALSA support addition).
Looks like EDE 2.0 alphas/betas will not have sound support;
probably even official 2.0 will not have it. But I' m hoping it
will not last too long for it's addition.
No more sound
