I’m painfully new to the sound side of things and would like to know if  
anyone has some real basic proof-of-concept sound examples they wouldn’t  
mind sending me. The docs aren’t too clear and the demos are less so.  
I’d like to concentrate of SDL for now - when I “master” that then I’ll  
explore SDL Mixer and the fancy tricks it can do…

Thanks for your help,  
Mike
