[Openal-devel] FreeALUT dynamicly loading ogg/vorbis

[Chris Robinson]

I've got FreeALUT working with Vorbis files properly, now. They can be loaded 
into a buffer, or streamed (in fact, anything that can be loaded into a 
buffer can be streamed). There's an ugly amount of code duplication, though, 
that I'm going to have to do something about (the existing APIs don't work 
well with streaming, and making them work with streaming doesn't work well 
with the existing code that uses it).

Right now, however, I'm tyring to get libogg/libvorbis to dynamicly load so 
they're not a load-time dependancy, and there's a problem I'm having with 
loading the functions. With copmpile warnings on, it adds -ansi -pedantic to 
the compiler command line. Subsequently using dlsym produces a bunch of 
these:
warning: ISO C forbids assignment between function pointer and ‘void *’

But, even with proper casting (even if it was feasible to cast every function 
load individually), causes a bunch of these:
warning: ISO C forbids conversion of object pointer to function pointer type

So as far as I can see, there's no way to load functions via dlsym since the 
it returns void*. Granted they are only warnings and compilation is 
successful, but they're unsightly and it kinda defeats the purpose of using 
the ansi/pedantic flags.

What would be the best way to handle this?
