I was wondering if you could use XMMS to create sound effects in a game.

There are a number of plug-ins from XMMS to allow remote control that could be probably be used for that, but why would you want to?

Because I can''t think of any other way to do this on Linux. I am using OpenGL for game devolpment, and you can''t create sound effects with it.

Check out OpenAL (www.openal.org)

There are several sound libraries available for Linux. OpenAL is one. SDL comes with a sound library, as does ClanLib, You could also use arts, the sound system that comes with KDE, or esd - the sound daemon for the Enlightenment window manager. Or you could make direct calls to the kernel using ALSA or OSS.

Personally, I''d take OpenAL, SDL or ClanLib, depending on what you''re doing.

There''s FMOD, BASS, and Audiere too. FMOD & BASS are free for non-commercial projects (if you don''t make money, they don''t care) and Audiere is open-source and free (LGPL).
