Re: Blastbay Studios Open Source Libraries
Mostly I just want a sound engine that is not fickle ior picky, without requiring maxed out AP to just get to play a sound. This engine takes 50 dependencies, 10 lines, and only plays 22.05khZ MP3s. That one takes 30 lines of init, and the sounds must be in mono. This other one only works if the sounds are in stereo. On-the-fly DSP? Eh, maybe; roll the dice to find out.
With BGT, I don't have to run a batch converter for every new project. It has some format limitations, but they're actually on the generous side. It lacks HRTF, EAX, and those sorts of more advanced effects, but it's not like I needed those most of the time anyway. If fmod or openAL or SDL or Bass or whatever can deliver comparable ease-of-use, it has not yet been demonstrated.
A solid open-source wrapper for one of these would actually be great, because then it'd be straightforward to port, if one can deal with how different languages interact with the underlying libraries.
