Hi,
not sure if I understood correctly: do you just want to mix N files?
Like you I'm learning libsndfile and libao so this is my attempt to mix some
audio files:

HTH,
Andrea
P.S.
Can someone explain line 88 (I already read the sndfile FAQ)?
I'm not simply trying to mix two files. My main project is a game engine
in which two sounds are allowed at any one time. For instance, there can
be constant background music punctuated by sound effects. I can't get
these to mix correctly.
Regarding your line 88, I had trouble with this too:
sf_count_t item_read = sf_read_float (sndfile[i], filebuffer, BUFFSIZE);
// WHY BUFFSIZE? Shouldn't be BUFFSIZE * channels?
The third parameter is for the number of items or frames. A frame is made
up of one sample per channel. Earlier you set up filebuffer like this:
buflen = BUFFSIZE * sf_info[0].channels;
filebuffer = malloc(buflen * sizeof(float));
The size of filebuffer is BUFFSIZE float-sized frames. Therefore when you
specify BUFFSIZE as the number of floats to read, they all fit in
filebuffer.
