2 quick questions...

What sound library does GLB use behind the scenes?

Is it used on all platforms?

Cheers,

Ian

3 different ones. DirectSound, SDL and OpenAL.

Would it be easier to change Windows over to OpenAL instead of DirectSound ?

Which platforms use OpenAL?

Mac/iPhone use OpenAL. OpenAL is not supported on Windows natively, so you would need to distribute a DLL. I don't want that.
