[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Sound/music library for use in games on maemo

[From: Kuisma Salonen]

Hi,

currently the situation is not the best one, due to some reasons (I 
won't be too specific here) the SDL audio relies on ESD which relies on 
DSP for now.

If your game is using SDL, you probably want to use SDL and SDL_Mixer 
for audio, as they are shipped with the system. Of course you can use 
for example ESD but it is recommended to use SDL since it's most 
supported game programming API on the platform, and even if it uses now 
ESD for audio, it might change in the future to use DSP directly, so 
when relying on the SDL you wouldn't have to change anything if those 
will be improved.
