Not to burst a bubble or anything, but FMOD is extremely expensive for
commercial products. None of the professional accessible game
companies would find the $9000 price tag to license the engine very
palatable. The engine is free for non-commercial use, so if you're
just looking to dabble, it might be for you.

Hi,
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. As a devoted Linux user it
would
be nice to see more developers targeting Linux rather than just
Windows.
However, Draconis is making a big step forward by making there
games Mac
compatible as well as Windows.
As for the Hekkus Sound System that sounds interesting. If it is
supported by .NET then the Mono Platform should support it as well.
There is very little difference between .NET Framework 3.0 and the
latest Mono releases for Linux. Most C-Sharp code should be easy to
port
between them.

Hi. Why not Linux? If it's audio games all of you are struggling
with,
check out this awesome library I use and love, for now at least,
wish
it had MP3 support. It is called Hekkus Sound System for
Developers of
various languages, it let's you use .wav and .ogg which actually
seems
to be 3 times better than MP3, and you can learn more about it at
shlzero.com. It works with apps written for Symbian, Windows, Linux
with OpenAl as the sound engine, Pocket PC/Smartphones running
Windows
Mobile, Mac OS, and many others! It basically lets you mix sounds
and
speed them up, slow them down, adjust volume, pan them, ETC. all at
the same time, or whenever your programs must do so. I used it to
build Showdown on Pocket PC. The library works with any language
that
let's you interact with DLLS including .NET and possibly Mono. HTH.
