Hi all. I wanna code a little WAVE-Player using the Sound-lib. Now, is there any way to pause and resume a playing Sound and to seek (modify) the current position in the WAVE??? I will be grateful for your help!!!

You could take a look at the BluePlayer that was posted on the Resources Site (in the Apps section).

I think it does what you are looking for.

No way. It uses the Movie-lib and I'm using the sound-lib.

The only control you have over a WAV file with the Sound Library is Start/Stop/Pan/Volume/Fequency.

For Seek/Pause ability you must use the Movie Library.

You just said you wanted to use the Sound Lib ?!

Anyways, for API commands you could probably look up "waveOut" in the API docs for playing/manipulating WAV files.

(haven't actually tried them myself because it looks like a lot of work and I can do everything I need with the Sound and Movie Libs)

MCI commands will also play WAV and pause/cue/return position, etc. but it's not really any different than using the Movie Lib.

Good luck.

...just curious, why don't you want to use the Movie Library?

Because of one silly disadvantage: I can't set the frequence of the sound. Do you know a list with all API-command under windows?

Yes, download the Windows Platform SDK from Microsoft.

You could probably start by looking up waveOutOpen and go from there.

Have fun

The Platform SDK installs many help files
in \Platform SDK\help\.
Look in the StartMenu... there youÂ´ll find
the start help file for the Platform SDK.

No way. I've searched under programs. But there isn't a such a menu.
