Background: I created a game engine (Goblin 2D+ Engine) and for sound just used a 3rd party library (BASS). However I quickly found the additional A$150 for BASS was effecting the uptake of my engine because it was US$59.95 and the additional A$150 for BASS was killing it. I knew nothing about sound programming so thought it was a hopeless dream to create my own sound engine. In desperation I bought this book and was surprised (not just by the CD in 1 million bits :S) Using this book as the basis I was able to create a fully functional sound library for my engine with all the features I was using in BASS. Sound effects, music, 3d positional sound, panning, volume, pitch, playing .MOD music, OGG decoder. Basically all the functionality I wanted. If anyone wants to see this in action... www.hoek.inkblue.com. The book fills in the gaps MSDN seems to leave out. Also, unlike a lot of books, Mason has NOT cut and paste from MSDN documentation. Thanks Mason!
