I've been working on the next version of maxmod that uses both DirectSound and OpenAL depending on which audio driver blitzmax is using at the time...
http://code.google.com/p/maxmod/
unfortunately I'm unable to test this on mac,linux,vista or 64bit, if anybody has a spare few minutes to test it for me I would be very grateful. (I'm expecting problems with endianness (is that right?) ect)
The new version provides a TSampleLoader for the standard loadsound command, and a seperate streaming module. I've also completly changed the command set to be more blitzmax friendly, just call the new CreateAudioStream command and it will return a TChannel for use with the built-in channel commands. (see the documention for examples ect)
Please note that you must change the audio driver to either "OpenAL" or "DirectSound" for streaming to work, the default "FreeAudio" driver will not produce any sound.
one problem at the moment is that I swapped it to using the Pub.DirectX module for directsound support, which has added a bug that should be fixed with the release of blitzmax 1.28, but until then any testers may need to correct line 140 in "pub/directx.mod/dsound.bmx" from this...
Please delete any previous version of maxmod first, then extract the archive to your "blitzmax/mod" folder, that will create a "maxmod.mod" folder which contains "modplayer.mod" and "audiostream.mod"
Thanks in advance.
