Hello,

Where is some documentation on dumb and A5?
More specifically, what headers do I include and what does the gcc command look like in order to do something like

dumb_load_xm("foo.xm");

TIA,
xtheunknown0

Is there a reason why you want to use DUMB directly?

If not, you can just use A5's streaming API to play those files:

al_install_audio();
al_reserve_samples(1);
al_init_acodec_addon();
ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM* stream = al_load_audio_stream("foo.xm", 4, 2048);
al_attach_audio_stream_to_mixer(stream, al_get_default_mixer());

You don't need to call any DUMB-specific functions.

Load it with al_load_audio_stream() and then attach it to the mixer via al_attach_audio_stream_to_mixer(). If you use al_reserve_samples(), then you can attach it to the mixer returned by al_get_default_mixer().
