Nice tutorial. I would note that for games you really want the engine handling the Doppler effect. If you bake the effect in the sound you limit the possibilities for that sound to a single event and any further timing changes to that event becomes a nightmare.

Sorry, just saw your message. You are absolutely right ! And that goes for all kinds of effects. Reverbs, spatial localization and so on.

Thanks for your input !
