ooooops... I m SOOO sorry... it's not 5 minutes and 39 secs... it's 5 seconds and 390 millisecs... so sorry about that... however I still find that 5 secs is a lot for such a small wav... I also tested a .ogg that is slightly bigger: a 5 minutes ogg that is about 4.4 M on HD -> about 48 seconds to load...
this is kinda long for just one music... Add to that that I have graphics and some ambiant sounds to load each time a "map" is loaded and it gives some damn annoying loading time... Especially for an RPG where map changing occurs quite often...
just for info here is my config:
iMac G3 500 Mhz with 512 M ram
if BMax actually loads the whole file, well I wish it would let you choose if you want to completely load the file or play it as stream like quicktime or iTunes do...
