Hi.
I have been trying to get the Sony Memory Stick Audio library to work with 
little success. I have read the previous thread available at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/palm-dev-forum/message/65523

The conclusion was that to get anywhere at all you have to poke around in 
SonyMsaLib.h After a brief flurry at the keyboard I can corrorborate this 
Using GCC, Palm OS SDK 4 and Sony SDK 3 I wrote a program that:

1. looked for MsaLib
2. loaded it if it was not already
3. tried to initialize it by calling MsaLibOpen

The call to MsaLibOpen returned 29634 (0x73C2) which does not match any of 
the error codes in SonyMsaLib.h The program does not fail immediately on 
calling MsaLibOpen, but does throw a fatal exception when you open the menu 
or quite the application. Seeing as you have to fudge the Sony SDK to work 
with GCC at all I decided to try the same program with CodeWarrior 6, Palm 
OS SDK 4 and Sony SDK 3. I was not surprised to discover the program failed 
in the same way.

The documentation from Sony is not great, it leaves gaps and gives few 
examples. My only thing I can think of is that the programmer is expected 
to initialize the Memory Stick in some way before the call to initialize 
MsaLib. Needless to say the documentation is rather silent on the matter. 
Has anyone made any progress on getting MsaLib to work since the original 
post by zane last year? Does any want to help me work it out off group (we 
can post the results back later)?
