Re: SoundChannels
In windows you can use MCIsendstring to play multiple wav sounds at a time. Hmmm... that'll work for any Windows games, then. That's good. Now I need something for Mac, since that's the platform I'm making it on... But thanks for the comment, I'll hang on to it!

Start-up times are a little long with that now, but it will allow you to play multiple sounds at the same time. And the good news is that the player object in 2.3 pretty much takes care of the delay problem because it prerolls the media files.

Re: SoundChannels
Hugh Senior [EMAIL PROTECTED] midi and wav use different channels so you can indeed have navigation clicks with bg music at the same time. I recently geeked up (?) a multimedia photo slideshow with background midi music plus voiceover narrative for a client. Just gotta choose your media formats carefully. I haven't used midi because I am not satisfied with it's quality with the most common PC soundcards (especially in schools and such). Luckily even the cheaper cards are slowly getting decent sounds. Tracker mods would be another option, but I am not aware if there are MOD-player externals which are compatible with MetaCard. Jarno Järvenpää
