Hi all, I'm looking at audio again because I have a student doing a game project for which he wants background music to play — and I'm feeling some trepidation based on most of the audio-tagged packages on pkgs.racket-lang.org showing some test failures or other build problems.
His minimal goal is to loop a sound file from the start of play until the end, and have it work on Windows and Mac. We tried play-sound from racket/gui/base, and it almost fits: we just need to be able to kill the sound at the end, and it seems that killing the sound-playing thread is not enough. Is there a way to stop the audio? His ideal goal is to be able to play different background music depending on the room the player is in. AFAICT this is beyond play-sound's ability, at least if he wants to do smooth transitions. Is there another library which would facilitate cross-fading from one audio file to another? More generally, what are currently our best tools for incorporating music and sound effects into Racket games?
