    background music/allegro

    hi

    anyone know a way to play a 234KB
    wav file as background music?

    i have tried

    load_sample();
    /// then i try to play it...
    play_sample();

    but i think the size of my file is to big
    anyone know a better way?

    thanks in advance!

    234kb for a wav is TINY!, anyhow i use at the moment
    the PlaySound() command from the winmm.lib,try using
    that.
    Ask for more info if you dont know it

    It's not too big of a file size. Again, go read the docs for Allegro or go do a search around at allegro.cc

    Include "winmm.lib" in the link options of your project then
    include "windows.h" then
    use playsound:

    Code:
     PlaySound("test.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_SYNC);
