Your callback needs to start the sound playing and return immediately.
If you wait for the sound to finish, your GUI will lock up for the
duration of the sample, since callbacks execute in the same thread as
the widgets.
There are lots of ways to do this: one of the simplest (on linux) is
just to play the sound with system( "&" ). For example (ahem,
untested):
void
my_button_click( GtkWIdget *button, const char *filename )
{
char buf[256];
snprintf( buf, 256, "mpg123 %s &", filename );
system( buf );
}
g_signal_connect( button, "clicked",
G_CALLBACK( my_button_click ), "sample.mp3" );
