General Heed was right, OpenAL "IS" a good idea.

It's been a while, but I was working on Cxbx today adding some stuff for XDK 3911 so hopefully I can get you all to stop begging me for DOA3 (me and our newest dev, defiance, are trying to fix the problem with it). In the mean time, I was adding the necessary things to get Halo to work properly. I noticed that there was no implementation of IDirectSoundStream::SetPitch. Assuming that changing the pitch of a DirectSound buffer would be standard in DirectSound, but I was wrong! It's not part of the DirectSound API at all o_O!

After taking a quick look around the net and remembering what General Heed said, it looks like there is some functionality that would be quite useful in OpenAL. I also found out that it supports DSP effects too, but appears to be specific to certain Creative Sound Blaster cards (which I do not have). So later on, I'll be looking into OpenAL as an alternative to DirectSound (unless XAudio proves to be a better choice, but I doubt it now). So thanks for the suggestion General Heed. Listening to the people is a good idea!

Shogun.

    Haha, sorry. I forgot to post the rest of it. I ended up pressing enter in the wrong window and that's why there was no readable text in this entry.

    I don't have that game, so you'll have to try it yourself next release.
