Playing sound files with the Media Kit

[Juergen Starek]

Hallo,

I'm rather new to programming the BeOS. Currently, I'm trying to play sound
files (mp3) using the Media Kit's BSoundPlayer. However, the sample code
the BeBook provides for this class does not work for me and all the old
newsletter articles are explaining other stuff.

Does anyone know of any documentation that explains in detail how to create
a very minimal sound player for mp3s? Or would anyone even be so good as to
comment the sample programs mplay or (even better) the sound part of xmas
(which can be found under samplecode/Intro/xmas, IIRC)?

Thanks in advance

Juergen

i've never tried playing any sounds on beos, but if you show the code
that doesn't work, i might be able to suggest something.

or else you can hope marco will chime in, because he's sure to know the
answer.

Well, not all... I found what I was looking for here:

(remove the linebreak, of course). I hope no one started to comment xmas
yet ;-)

SampleStudio http://www.bebits.com/app/2895 includes source code.

http://www.bebits.com/app/3008 looks interesting and leads to
http://f3c.com/software/FMedia/

http://www.bebits.com/app/2857 is small and comes with source code.

Well, I know I got some sound samples to work a few months ago while trying
to find out how to sample the ADC of the sound card. For that I only found
old code that did not would but the outputs did. If you know anything about
sampling in sounds please help me out.
