Hi everybody, i want to play a ogg vorbis sound with openal and i want to know if we need a new thread for playing it if we want to do other thing at the same time. Thank for help

There's nothing wrong with just updating the buffers each frame, but you won't be able to stream music while doing things like loading. I decided to use a thread for playing music in my game for this reason, and I think it was worth the effort.

Of course, if you're using the beta ogg OpenAL dll, you shouldn't need to worry about it -- but I'm not conviced that's ready for use just yet.
