[solved] Having some OpenAL/Ogg problems
Author
Just to get the specs out of the way..I'm using OpenAL 1.1, the newest Ogg and Vorbis libraries, and Visual Studio 2005/2008 depending on which computer I'm using.
I've had no issues with getting OpenAL to work with .wav files, but I've recently decided to go to .ogg. I'm not trying to stream from the hard drive, since this is for a game, so I'm just trying to load the .ogg into a buffer.
I'm having issues when I run the ov_open() function and I was told to try using ov_open_callbacks() instead. I can't, however, find any good references on how these callbacks work.
Here is my code:

There's tons of vorbis decoding examples on the internet! I can't believe you didn't find anything...
For instance there's the official Vorbis documentation (vorbisfile). There's an example showing the use of ov_open_callbacks. It uses the standard input, but it's pretty similar for files.
You only have to provide the callback functions as described here. Your FILE pointer (or whatever object you use to open files...) will be the datasource variable.

Yeah..I have found these tutorials on the Vorbis site but for whatever reason those callback defines did not exist for me. I finally realized that the OggVorbis SDK I got wasn't the latest version. I downloaded the stuff from the vorbis site and now I'm having issues making the .lib and .dll files. :(

Does anyone have any input on how I can go about creating all of my necessary .dll and .lib files using Visual Studio? This is the first time I've reached outside of DirectX, so I'm very used to all of the appropriate files being supplied already. The Ogg/Vorbis SDK I downloaded first already had the lib and dll supplied, but it was an old version so these tutorials aren't helping. :(

Somewhere in the ogg source zip folder you downloaded should be a Visual Studio Project(.sln).
-open it
-Build it.
-That will make all the files needed (.dll and .lib)
-Now you need to setup Visual Studio to see those .lib files
Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories
-Also in that Ogg zip there will be a folder called include, these are the headers you should include to use the Ogg library. So you will need to setup Visual Studio to see them as well.
Once you have that done, you can repeat the process with the Vorbis lib.

Are you kidding me?
"%OpenAL 1.1 SDK%\samples\playoggvorbis"
There's a nice sample showing how to dynamically load Ogg Vorbis DLL (although, you can change this with a couple of lines, to make the compiler do that for you)
That sample shows how to stream.
In order to load the FULL buffer, the following trick will work:
Be aware though, that you WANT to stream in-game music.
Be aware that a 6MB encoded clip can easily become 60MB in RAM. You don't want to spend 60MB of RAM just for one music piece.

Thanks for all the help in pointing out things I didn't have. Again, since I couldn't get the .dll and .lib to compile I had to find some premade SDK..and as a result It had the bare essentials and nothing else. inc, lib, dll, nothing more...so I had no samples. I wasn't aware there were samples.
I got it all figured out though. Finally found all the right parts of the vorbis sdk to make it functional. And yes, I understand I need to stream the music...just because I couldn't find an example on it doesn't mean I don't know that ogg is a compressed file format. :)
case closed.
