Need Windows/OSX .ogg lib

Hey everyone, its time to put music into my game and I want to know if there are any good ogg player libs for windows and mac osx (linux would be good too, but not required). Preferibly easy to use aswell. :)

I just recently located DUMBOGG, but im not sure if it compiles on OSX, it dosent say so in the docs :P

I guess Fmod could be a last resort, but last time I checked, its OSX support isnt very good.

Any suggestions are very welcome

There's alogg, which is preferred over DUMBOGG, but you'll have to see yourself if it compiles on OSX.

Fmod would work too.

Fmod is excellent but it seems every time they update the API to a new version something in the old API breaks and you have to change your functions :P Glad to see they added mac support as well.

The latest APEG can handle Ogg just fine. :)

I agree with Steve. FMod is a great lib, and I use it, but it's annoying that they do minor changes to the API that breaks compatibility. It's getting annoying :P

Woah, I found Audiere which looks so mint its insane. The only downside is that it has like 4 support libs that need to be installed beforehand.

If Audiere fails, or becomes to much of a hastle, I will check out APEG. That looks really good too. :)

fmod also has an awful licensing system. That's the main reason I'm boycotting it. :-)
