Rob,
Thanks for the helpful feedback. Nicely explained.
Malice,
Ah thank you for clearing that up. ie. the Channel commands can be applied -while- the sound is playing. Understood!
WolRon,
I wish I could explain. Look at the info for the SoundVolume command:
As you can see there's no mention of this command controlling the volume of the entire program, which it doesn't anyway. This is confirmed by the reference to a specific sound within the command's syntax.
Unfortunately the documentation for this and many other commands seem to have been typed up in a couple of seconds, without proof reading. Either that or cut and pasted from other commands with minor alterations.
I surely hope the docs for BlitzMax have been given the attention they deserve.
