OpenAL and Ogg Vorbis
Author
Hi so far I know OpenAL lets you play wavs for sound effects, aswell it has a listener etc and can play ogg vorbis if setup with it.
But what im wondering can Ogg Vorbis do sound effects just aswell as openal?, As i want to play sound effects and music in my game(resonably compressed music)
thanks

Ogg Vorbis is not a audio library in that it plays audio data. Rather it is an audio encoding/streaming technology.
Ogg Vorbis cannot be used on it''s lonesome; you''ll have to load the ogg encoded file, decode it, then send it to OpenAL. Then you can play it in your game.
MikeMJH - is right. Buth he hasen''t anwserd your question.
Yes you can!
You yust need to decode a file in to SounBuffer add efects & play.

In our game, we use OpenAL with SDL (and OpenGL). OpenAL to play .wav files and Ogg/Vorbis to play .ogg files. Works great =)
The game is open source, you can check it out here. Check out the AudioCore.

Ogg Vorbis isn''t something you use to play audio -- it''s the audio itself. Think of it as a smaller WAV (or better MP3, if you will). Whatever you can do on WAV with OpenAL, you can do on Vorbis, because you just load the Vorbis data and put it in the exact same buffer that you put the WAV file.
