Presenting FMOD
Published by Kai-Philipp Schöllmann March 14th, 2008 in optionsThere are already quite small audio libraries out there hence there is actually no need to reinvent the wheel.
FMOD is a relatively new audio engine which is already used in many games and professional audio software. It already runs on Windows, Linux, OSX (both Intel and PPC) and some consoles and comes with a full API to address the sound system.

I’ve been trying to explore the possibilities of connecting fMOD with Flash. Here’s a guy that’s bypassed the C-based API to use fMOD with java:

I’m not a programmer, but do you guys think it’s possible?
