Posts: 15100 		So, anyone know of a 32bit compatible Tracker player module for RISC OS that uses SharedSound?

TimPlayer is the only 32bit compatible tracker I know of, but doesn't use SharedSound. It is semi-regularly updated, so there's a chance that some author-pestering will result in a new version, but since it's aimed at quality and not speed it isn't ideal for the use I have in mind.

QTM on the other hand is geared towards speed (and authenticity), and because of this has been used in countless games. Although it isn't 32bit compatible and isn't updated anymore, the source code is available, and it does support a "transparent sound system", allowing the music to be played ontop of other sounds (including those generated by SharedSound).

I've taken a quick peek at the source code and it seems fairly straight forward, so shouldn't pose much of a problem for conversion to 32bit. It also appears to generate the music asynchronously to the buffer fill requests, so should be easy to convert to use SharedSound.

Plus if I make it 32bit compatible then I'll get lots of brownie points for helping to reduce the number of programs that need Aemulor Pro to run on the Iyonix (Sorry, Adrian :P)
