Audio formats in DirectSound
Author
Hello, does anyone know how to load audio files other than .wav or .voc , in directsound.
For exemple, MIDI files, tracker music ( mod, it, etc. ), mp3 or other commonly used format ?
I would appreciate any help I could get. Thank you in advance.
Unfortunately currently all wave format DirectSound can play is non-compressed type. By Using CODEC(DLL) which supports the format you intend to play, you will easily get non-compressed wave data from compressed one. See mmedia.hlp for details. (But you must not assume CODECs have been installed to all Windows PC)

Ah, DirectShow also will help you in case you want to play MP3.
