Hi All:
I was playing a little with DOSAmp, it uses the streaming system of Allegro
to play MPEG layer 2 and 3 audio files (really cool!).
All works OK and my player can play list of files and convert MP3s to wav
under DOS.
But .... when I tested some songs with silence in the middle I heard a lot of
noise. First I supposed the noise was from my computer, so I grownded it (I
normally use a good grown but last time I moved the computer I forgot to
connect it), the quality improved, but the noises remained. Then I added the
WAV converting routine and tested generating a WAV and then playing it with my
sound player (it ISN'T based on Allegro), surprisingly the quality is FAR
better, so the problem IS in the streaming stuff.
I tried using reserve_voices(2,0) but it didn't kill the problem. Does anybody
know where is the problem? I'm using Allegro 3.0 no WIP.
