How to go about audio

[kikito]

I favor having a pool of resources already created, always in memory. You set the size of that pool when you create the source (doing something like newsource(path, mode, poolSize)). Pool size limits the max number of simultaneous sources. Can change from source to source, and defaults to 1 (default LÖVE behavior). My custom play function parses the pool until it locates a non-playing sound, and plays it, if it exists.

This performs very well - but all the source "copies" are loaded in memory, all the time. But I can live with that; if images are loaded in memory, sources should, too.

Hmmmm, that sounds like a good solution; I think I might use that. That makes sure you don't blow out the sound channels. Thanks for that!

EDIT: By the way, congrats on 800 posts.

Oh, in that case - give a look to my implementation. Feel free to adapt it to your needs.

Ha ha. As for me, I've just hit 100. I guess that means I've been let in on the party.
