Offical cAudio 1.7 RELEASE!!!

Hey everyone its been a while and i bet some of you guys thought cAudio was dead but it isnt. After working on cAudio for a while and discussing it with dark_kilauea we found a need for a rewrite so here it is. cAudio is a full rewrite of the internal workings of cAudio.

Special thanks to Dark_Kilauea

Download: http://www.deathtouchstudios.com

New Features:
*Easily expandable plugin feature *Makes adding codecs easy*
*Full Support for virtual file systems
*Global IAudio Object for all file formats.
*Wav support.
*Fully functioning streaming support.

Losses:
*MikMod

Now has you notice i did say we lost mikmod support. In reality we can get it back but it would require someone to write a codec for cAudio and i currently dont have the time. In short though Ogg,and wav support codecs are standard. Im hoping to see the community create additional codecs. Documentation is actually useful now. As of right now there arnt any know bugs so please post on the forums if any are found.

cAudio 1.7 Is under the zLib license.

Some things I think were left out. Codecs are now an abstract class that you can inherit from in your application. This means that you can create a codec reader to handle any audio file you desire (at least in theory).

We also fixed streaming on all supported OS's. You can choose whether to stream from a file or load the file into memory and play it that way.

Adding virtual files systems may take a small modification to the engine, but there is an abstract class that you can inherit from that the internal engine uses, making it much easier.

Hope you guys like this release and please help out with additional codecs.

Thanks.

Do u have MSVC8 installed?
then build it yourself. the codeblocks file has the option to compile using MSVC.

I'm curiosu as to why there was only a linux build. I have the source code for 1.7 and will try to compile it with codeblocks, but it is still odd why it was only for linux this time

well simply bc i provided the windows builds last time and this time i didn't....
but hey its source code and the needed libs are shipped. why don't u guys simply hit compile???

laziness I guess, although I did get some errors when I did compile, probably just need to set the correct paths

Mmmm, zlib, my favourite. It seems nice and easy to use

But I remember when using OpenAL, isn't there a limit to the number of sounds playing at once or something? (channels???) So how do you handle this in cAudio? Or are there so many channels this should not be a problem?

afaik, there doesn't seem to be a limit on channels. If the hardware is limited, the sound should be mixed in software by the driver.

Ok, great

I'm compiling caudio and I get some error
"cannot find -lmikmod" what is this?

Any chance to get a Mac port anytime soon? It shouldn't be too hard.
