[MAXGUI] Playing audio after screen update?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/[MAXGUI] Playing audio after screen update?

Hello all!

My current problem is that when I'm playing ogg files with a maxgui app, the whole app hangs for a second (CPU usage is very high) and the screen is not updated with new info (texts, Listboxentries etc) until the audio started playing.

Is there a way to get around this? Redrsw gadgets first and then play audio?

Is the fmod lib better (quality / less cpu usage) for playing music than the native commands?
