Ptplayer sfx problem

[sandruzzo]

When I play an sfx, I hear some sort of "tac", when it starts. Is there something that I have to take care of to get rid of it? I tried it with dopus, and it played well without this strange thing.

All sfx are saved as .iff

Players typically set the first word of each sample to 0 to prevent that (in mt_init or similar routine). If you are playing external samples, I'd guess you have to do that by yourself.

PTPlayer doesn't play .iff files, it plays raw samples. If you pass the sample without the IFF header it'll work without a tac sound. You could also keep them in .IFF format and add the size of the header to the pointer you pass, which will also fix this.
