Playing sound at an advanced level.

IIO:
what about using ASIO Soundmanager?

has multiple advantages for the end user, too.

not sure you can still license ASIO 2.x for mac though.

ASIO SDK is in the hotline.

Just a note, over at system7today we've been actively working on revitalizing SDL for MacOS 9 (and actually 7/8, and even, harder to believe, m68k), results here:
https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/sdl-1213-simple-directmedia-layer

We've been neglecting sound a bit, but am working on SDL_mixer this weekend.  It builds, but support for some file formats is giving trouble, just due to code rot and using CodeWarrior.

Also wondering, if you made any progress, what did you end up using?

Jubadub:
For anyone who might wonder, @laulandn's SDL_mixer is currently download #2 in this page. It is based on the latest version of SDL_mixer that works with SDL 1.2 in general. Epic stuff!

SDL 1.2 also works excellent on Mac OS 9 in general, and you can either get the officially-released version 1.2.13, or the latest 1.2.15, or the "true latest", still-being-updated version 1.2.16. Or better yet, @laulandn's version of 1.2.16 which contains upgrades. All of these are easy to find and get in the Garden SDL 1.2 page. For using it in your own software, get the Development Libraries of any of those versions or, better yet, used @laulandn's upgraded sources, which will contain everything you will need, and in fact IIRC is actually required if you use his (awesome) port of SDL_mixer!

Knezzen:
Great job, guys! :D
