Hi,
in the past months a guy tried to implement a class to play sounds
notifications  in caya, the class used BFileGameSound to play the
sounds.
As you may know, unfortunately Caya is compiled using gcc4...and we
discovered that a gcc4 program can't play any media under a gcc2h
because there are not codecs installed, and vice versa....a gcc2 app
can't play sounds under a gcc4h. Is there currently any plan to
support such feature?

Maybe adding the gcc4 codecs to the gcc2h builds is an acceptable fix?

Or it would be preferred that a gcc4 app will ship with the needed
codecs included?

Best Regards
