Two comments...look at:
Ogg Vorbis Site
FMOD
Ogg Vorbis can fairly easily be decoded down to WAV, which is typically what I then feed to DirectSound. I don''t know how much DirectShow/Play/Monkey/etc will help. There are some pretty nifty functions in there...

However! FMOD is easy, and pretty damn neat. If you''re making something free by all means go for it.

Thanks.. I will go for it for sure..

But I don''t get what you mean with converting it to wav. Thats what I try to avoid using wav because its to big of size.

I was thinkin if a way to play the ogg files directly.

What redragon means is that before playing the sound,
you must provide DirectSound with RAW data, and it''s exactly
what a wav file is : RAW data !

ohh.. I see..

So I still use ogg, or s3m format, but before it will be send to directsound it will be convertet to wav.. Did I get you right??

Yeah...I should have explained. You basically decode ogg/vorbis into wav format in memory, then that gets played.
