[Openal] What goes after main()?

[Vrej Melkonian]

When I downloaded the SDK from Creative's site, it
comes with the header files and libs and dlls. For me,
alut was in there.
There were examples included but I'm not sure if they
were using ALUT

There is a Framework in there that wraps AL.
I looked at this code and my own class. Some of my
code is near identical to the Framework.

To play wav files, look at PlayStatic in the Samples
folder.
A function called
ALboolean LoadWave(char *szWaveFile, ALuint BufferID)

reads in the wav file. These are simple because they
are not compressed. They are the BMP format of the
sound world.

For other formats, you need to get a 3rd party lib or
write your own. Decompress them to raw data (PCM), and
feed them to a AL buffer.

Hope that helps
