3D sound library

SDL Development

hello

is there already an SDL_something or an LGPL’d library that manages 3D
sound (emulation or hardware)?
if not, i would be interested in developing one.

please let me know.
thx,

If I’m correct,

OpenAL is the library you look for :

OpenAL, the Open Audio Library, is a joint effort to create an open,
vendor-neutral, cross-platform API for interactive, primarily spatialized
audio. OpenAL’s primary audience are application developers and desktop
users that rely on portable standards like OpenGL, for games and other
multimedia applications. OpenAL is already supported by a number of hardware
vendors and developers.

You can find it at : http://www.openal.org.

I don’t know if it works in conjunction with SDL.

Or fmod.

It’s free unless you make something commercial, but hey… who of us is
making money already? ;-

I don’t know about mixing OpenAL with SDL’s sound subsystem, but using
only OpenAL to do sound in your program will work great; I can testify
to that.On Tue, 2002-11-19 at 05:31, Niels Wagenaar wrote:

Just about. And under windows it has a native implementation for
Creative cards.On Tue, 2002-11-19 at 09:25, jon dread wrote:

fmod + GPL == nondistributable. If you want people other than yourself to
actually be able to use the result, you need to alter the permission of
the GPL just a bit.

Of course, if you do so, you can’t go using anybody else’s GPL code unless
they too are willing to do the same with their license.On Tue, Nov 19, 2002 at 08:58:15AM -0500, patrick at 2dgame-tutorial.com wrote:

Joseph Carter <@Joseph_Carter> This end upside-down

sure, but these are things you fix when you find them. OPN …
declares the fix to be counter-productive and against their
intent to “bring IRC out of the dark ages”
they are bringing IRC into the dark ages

You’re wrong, sortof. Specifically, the GPL doesn’t allow others to place
more restrictions than the GPL on code. You can do it, but others can’t
do it with your code even if you did, unless you explicitly permit it.

Of course, you lose the ability to borrow other people’s GPL’d code if you
do this.On Tue, Nov 19, 2002 at 03:21:21PM +0100, jon dread wrote:
