XeAudiere is a wrapper for Audiere audio engine (free also for commercial usage!) with XenoN Core Framework.
It support audio file formats such as: Uncompressed WAV, Uncompressed AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP3, MOD, S3M, IT, XM.

* Music - Small data portion of big file (streaming).
* Sound - All data of small file.
It can also read ID3v1 tags.

Not much OGG support out there. I currently use Super Sound System but I'll give this a try if it's free to use including commercially.

[antidote]

Postality Audiere = Free Open Source. The license is LGPL

[freko]

Does it support file streaming?

[PsichiX]

Music elements are for streaming files (big files - small portions - streaming)

[freko]

Gr8 thats what I needed

[DJ Gman]

Nice wrapper, how do you get the music's position in milliseconds?

[Sindarin]

Did you use the latest stable source of audiere? I heard the sources over svn have some kind of bug.

Can you please add an argument to the initialization function to specify the directory of the "audiere.dll", I wish to have all dlls and such in my temp_directory and also turn this into an extension.
Like,

XaudioInit(temp_directory+'\XeAudiere.dll', temp_directory+'\audiere.dll');

or wrap the audiere.dll inside the XeAudiere.dll.

Thanks.

I think that I used some of the earlier versions.

Ok, I will do this. Thanks for tips

I will add this feature soon, because for now it's impossible to get audio bit rate ;p

Update to version 1.7!
New feature: set pitch (and music/sound speed). Max 2x faster and 2x slower. Example (Shift and Control keys) show how to use pitch
Download link in first post ;P

Genius! I like it.

[Mr. R]

I would use this if it had the ability to play files from other directories. I had to find out that it couldn't myself, and it was disappointing. And I really appreciate what you've done to make a wrapper for a sound module DLL which is released under a free license!!
Also, no source code? Blasphemy!

[freko]

Why do you want the source code for, unless you are using it in another enviornment.

[PsichiX]

audiere is released under LGPL, and i don't make any changes in source code of audiere, so I don't need to release source code of XeAudiere

[fire_soul453]

Finally! One DLL that can play ogg, mp3 and do streaming while being free for commercial use!
I been wanting this for a while.
Thanks!

Is there any way you can make this into a single DLL?

[MatrixQuare]

It seems to be unstable and prone to random crashing when using OGG's (which were exported using Audacity). I can't seem to see a pattern, sometimes it crashes, other time it doesn't, all under the same circumstances...

EDIT: So I found out the *REASON* why it *sometimes* crash. If you poll "XmusicIsPlaying" during the step event, then there's a chance that it will fail and crash the game. What I did to bypass this "bug" was to simply move it from the step to alarm, and set the alarm to poll "XmusicIsPlaying" every 10 steps.

MatrixSquare, thanks, i will fix this soon

when i fix Audiere for static library compilation

MatrixSquare, thanks, i will fix this soon

Awesome, hopefully my game will stop crashing after the fix !

[death-droid]

The download link isn't working for me
EDIT:
Nevermind its working fine now.

[smind44]

This is great. We needed a free alternative to FMOD

Is there a way to seek within a MOD (or XM, etc..)?

[Vile Smile]

This was very helpful! Cut my game's file size in half by allowing me to use .ogg.

Keep up the good work!

[coco13]

If this really is as good as everyone says it is i will gladly switch from supersound.

VERY GOOD! Thats it! Im done with supersound for good!

Btw is there a logo i could use to credit this engine in my game. A logo like fmod has.

[bbuubbi]

just a question: can the engine READ the current volume of the music like a equlizer?

[mads2194]

For me it crashes randomly when I play some sound files.

[Glen]

This is great. Glad we finally have a free sound engine. The license on all the other quality sound engines were not practical for the average indie developer looking to do something with their projects. Definitely going to put this to use. Much appreciated.

[duhprogrammer]

Great. VERY GREAT! it's awesome! thanks a lot for this sound engine!

[RangerX]

So what's the best approach to this sound DLL? 

 

- Should I load all my sound effects at first and then any object plays them or every object should load its needed sound effect? (the later would have a sound loaded into memory multiple times, I guess its not good?)

- Maybe sounds can be loaded into global and then played by multiple objects? (and what about if more than one object tries to play the same global sound?)

 

Sorry if this is noobish but I am just starting with those sound DLLs. 

[RangerX]

What is the use of "XMusicCleanup" and "XmusicFree" ? What's the difference between them?
