How do I get a sound file to play in my programs?

If you are using win32 include it as a resource

Look up the PlaySound(...) function. You'll need to include windows.h but your program doesn't have to be a windows program to use the function.

If you need really fancy sound functions, you might wanna take a look at DirectSound :) Only Win32 though...

And then there is (supposed to be) OpenAL. (www.openal.org). Tell me if you get the download to work :/

You can use SDL sound (libsdl.org). Or OSS, ALSA, etc. Of course, I am coming
from a GNU/Linux perspective (SDL is supposed to work on windows too).
