I followed this example code here:
http://www.kekkai.org/roger/sdl/mixer/ to get wav playing working great!
However, I have one problem though - I can’t seem to use any ogg or mp3
files. On ogg when I call play it crashes (devide by zero) and mp3 just
plays nothing. There are no errors that I can see being reported by sdl.
Are you familiar with using the win32 developers build of sdl and sdl
mixer? I downloaded them straight from the SDL website. Do they come
with OGG and MP3 support compiled in and enabled? Or do I have to re-
compile from source to get this functionality? I’ve found documentation
on this issue very hard to come across, and am turning to you out of
frustration - do you have any ideas? Or, can you point me in the right
direction? And yes I’ve looked at the FAQ and saw the question regarding
OGG etc support, but I need more help than what that offered. It said I
need SMPEG and OGGVorbis libraries - does that mean I can just add them
to my library path in VS or do I have to completely recompile SDL and
SDL-Mixer with some special options ? If so - are there any instructions
on how to go about this?
Thanks a lot!–

Here is a little how to I wrote on how to get SDL, SDL_mixer (with ogg
support) and smpeg compiled and working on Win32 using MinGW and msys:
