is there a free wrapper api for xaudio 2 that provide an api similar to the following?

 
init_audio()
 
id = loadwav(filename)
 
playwav(id)
 
stopwav(id)
 
loopwav(id)
 
is_playing(id)
 
unload_wav(id)
 
uninit_audio()
 

i've started implementing sound, and the first line of code is "CoInitailzeEx"

i'm sick of wrapping obtuse MS api's in user friendly api's. is there one out there already?

I've recently been working with: https://code.google.com/p/gorilla-audio/ The interface isn't quite as simple as you asked for but it's not far off either.

Sorry guys, beat you to the punch.

Wrote one last night:

 
 
 
 
#ifndef zaudio_h
#define zaudio_h
 
 
void Zunpause_voice(int i);    // i is voice #
 
void Zpause_voice(int i); // i is voice #
 
void Zshutdown_audio();
 
//  returns: Zvoice # on success. -1=create source voice error. -2=submit source buffer error. -3=start voice error.
int Zloopwav(int i);     
 
int Zvoice_is_playing(int i);    // returns: 0=no. 1=yes.
 
 
void Zstop_voice(int i); //     i is voice #   
 
//  returns: Zvoice # on success. -1=create source voice error. -2=submit source buffer error. -3=start voice error.
int Zplaywav(int i);
 
 
// loads wav into slot i.  s is filename.
//   returns: 0=success. 1=open wav error. 2=read wav error.
int Zloadwav(int i,char *s);
 
//   returns: 0=success. 1=Xaudio2 create error. 2=create master voice error.
int Zinit_audio();
 
 
void Zloadwavs(char *s2);
 
void Zdestroy_finished_voices();
 
 
 
 
#endif
 
 

[ slash code ] cliped the rest of the post below the code again!

i'm sick of losing posts due to [ kode ] not working!

if this keeps up, i'm going back to blue comic ms! <just kidding - how about pink comic ms ?>

briefly: it could be cleaned up a bit internally. remove dependencies on my z3d library for error messages, and winmm for loading files. encapsulate in an object. make maxwavs and maxvoices dynamic, not static. Xaudio2 design requires one call per frame to shutdown finished voices, no workaround for that.

think anyone would be interested in source code?
