Wait, reread that. Dev said the sound code was crappy since it had distortion for some people. I said, that is not the cause of distortion in sounds, so in this case, the sound code isn't crappy. The distortion is the result of crappy drivers AFAICT. Having the game itself calculate the position/etc versus taking that out and using API calls to do the "dirty" work for you is just a different way to do the same thing. >I'll create a (temporary(?)) branch somewhere tomorrow (i.e. after >1300 >CET, cause I won't be available, read awake ;-) , very early >before that >time) for a reimplementation. > >I'd prefer to do this using C++ (I'll obviously provide a C >interface so >that linking against the new lib will be possible for C), please >also >say so when you don't like that idea. > >-- >Giel If you are going to do it in C++, then a new branch is best I think. Maybe a testing branch or something? This might be a good time to check how we can mix C++ & C code on all the different compilers we are using since it should be fairly small patch.
