[Scummvm-devel] Streaming sounds in Scumm games

[Filippos Karapetis]

Er, I've already put a #if defined(ENABLE_SAGA2) safeguard which affects both shorten.h and .cpp. And the Shorten code is only used in the WIP SAGA2 engine, not the whole SAGA engine.

As for the sound code in SAGA: I've written it to load samples in memory, as it simplified the overall code in that part, as the SAGA engine has to deal with a variety of different encodings (PCM, VOC, VOX, WAV, VOC, AIFF and Shorten). The whole sound effect/speech code in SAGA should be changed to play samples from disk directly, rather than loading them in memory, but I believe that this is not possible for VOC, WAV and AIFF files with the current common code.

Regards
Filippos
