Description
Sounds quite horrible (like a bad sample rate) when compiled with Visual C 6 or Embedded Visual C 3/4 - surprinsingly the compiled daily build is fine (probably compiled with Visual C 7). Tested with the latest CVS (14th December 2003)
Assigning to Jamieson, I'm having a look at it too ...

Perhaps because Embedded Visual C has the same kind of bugs and is the common environment to generate Pocket PC/Handheld PC executables ...
but I could try to switch to a gcc cross-compiler just to see how it performs on different platforms - I'm almost confident about ARM/CE support (even if EVC could make a better use of XScale extensions, I don't know ...), but not so sure about MIPS/CE or SH3/CE support, and I doubt the WinCE port users would like this new alpha test either :)

&/$%. Why can't MS, like, release a bug fix update for EVC then, I wonder? <sigh>

OK located, the bug lies in how template functions are managed - in our case, makeLinearInputStream and makeWrappedInputStream are not correctly generated with VC6 or EVC.
Suggestions :
* Copy-and-pasting (evil) to specialize the functions with <true> (it actually works ... no comments) * Put stereo as a parameter
Your choice Max :)

The daily builds are created with mingw, a freely downloadable tool chain whihc you could use, too.
So it seems the audio system once again exposes one of the hundreds of bugs in MSVC6. I really wonder why we keep spending so much energy to support this pile of crap. In fact I wonder how MSVC is able to compile a simple "Hello World" considering how many problems we have exposed in it so far <sigh>
