Okay, you want to poll to see if the sound is still playing... This is not very easy to do...
You really want to use the low-buffer callback from the soundcard driver to load the next sample into the buffer using DMA. (IE you can pass a function to the driver to call when you sample has been copied completely to the sound-cards memory). This is the way to do it...
play_then_free = do set_callback (free_sample my_sample) play_sample my_sample
You can see that this provides the interface you want to the user (IE samples are freed once they are finished with)...
Keean.
This is exactly how I do it for the Stream sound type, since this type of sound supplies a callback for when it reaches the end. The sound sample does not, though. (stream is streamed from disk, sound sample is loaded into memory). /S -- Sebastian Sylvan +46(0)736-818655 UIN: 44640862
