 |
|
| Is there anyway currently to make an application play a sound? without launching an external program such as Nullsoft or Windows Media Player? |

I guess you are on win32, according to the programs you mentioned.
There is a PHP extension that allows you executing native win32 API calls, and there should be a method that plays sounds.
I know that there were several threads in the php-gtk-general mailing list, and you could search the archives (as listed on http://php-gtk2.de ) to find the right method. If you found it, please post the solution here. By the way, the System_WinDrives PEAR package makes use of the PHP-win32-API-call extension, so you could lurk there to find out how it works. |

a few weeks ago, I've got a similar question in the channel.
I've got the answer, that openal may be my friend.
But until now, I didn't integrated it into my app. |

I went to the PECL site, but it seems that the PHP OpenAl extension is only for *nix. Do you know of a Windows Version? |

| You could ask the author if a win version is possible and could be provided. The package has the subtitle "platform independent sound", so it should be possible. |
