Re: sound in lua

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

Have you considered SDL's audio capabilities?  Not the raw core audio 
(too low level) but have a look at SDLmixer.  It's used in games afaik, 
and is multi-platform.  I'd be willing to make a binding (have been 
planning anyhow, just not a usage case before this).  What do you say?
