Technical sound question.

[Vitriol]

Xenimus plays .wavs
.wavs are enormous because they are uncompressed.
Will Project Volucris's engine be capable of mp3 playback?
We can keep the game's size down a bit that way.

There is no direct, easy way to load mp3's into directx that I know of, you have to use DirectShow to do it, and even then it's a little hackish.
There is a way to convert an mp3 to an MPEG 3rd Layer compressed WAV file and then load that with a codec, so it will be the same size as an MP3, but be loadable natively by Directx.

All music will be in .OGG format. I've already written the decoders for it. Sounds will either be .OGG or .WAV
