I get a whole bunch of warning messages about to do with having virtual functions but not having a virtual destructor...don't know how to get rid of these, but it still works.
1) download binaries for 1.9.4 package for windows
2) from this package, you only need 3 files...audiere.h, audiere.dll and audiere.lib which are in different directories.
3) rename audiere.lib to audiere.a
4) copy audiere.dll to the same directory where your executable will run from so it can be found at runtime.
5) copy audiere.a to linker directory and add it to the file list in the project.
6) copy audiere.h to your source directory where all your other *.h files are.
7) in the *.h file of your source code, add #include "audiere.h" (note not <angle brackets>)
also in the *.h file, add the following as global variables (I don't use namespaces so I specify the fully qualified name)audiere::AudioDevicePtr device;
audiere::OutputStreamPtr sound;
9) In your *.cpp file, in the constructor, add the following:
device = audiere::OpenDevice();
10) Add a timer so you can monitor the when the sound clip finishes playing. For me, it fires 4 times a second. When the clip is finished, the timer is stopped. Here is my code:
void MyClass::OnTimerEvent( wxTimerEvent& event )
{
bool restartTimer = true;
bool isItPlaying;
timer.Stop();
isItPlaying = sound -> isPlaying();
// check status of audio clip
if (isItPlaying == false)
timer.Start(250);
else {
// re-enable any controls you disabled while audio clip was playing
} // end else
} // end OnTimerEvent
11) In your code where you actually want to kick off (load and play) the sound clip - add something like this:
(note you need char_str method to pull it out of a wxString object)
fileName.sprintf(wxT("c:\\testsound.mp3"));
sound = audiere::OpenSound(device, fileName.char_str(), true);
sound -> play();
timer.Start(250);
12) Suppose you already have the clip loaded and want to play it again without reloading it. In that case, just repeat the last two lines from step 11 (sound -> play(); and timer.Start(250);)
In a nutshell that should get you started.
