i got a ogg vorbis player class off flipcode''s cotd archive, and i''m trying to make it work with openAL instead of directx. i''ve tested it by replacing the ogg reading part with a load wav, and it played, so thats not the problem. its somwhere along the lines getting tempBuffer into the AL buffer. i''m almost positive its because when i was using directsound, it had a lot of variables like channels, and some others. but with openal, i either can''t figure out how to set them or it doesn''t have them. i also assume ogg''s format is stereo 16 bit? well, the above code doesn''t work and i can''t figure out why, i need your help

DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i''m a flippin dumbass, i didn''t init position to 0. i noticed it while checking the post for spelling errors

a new prob has cropped up though, i need to find out how far into a buffer a sound is playing. how do i do that with openAL?
