Nope, the libmodplug support is fairly mature, but I think it might be required to "bridge" SFML loop parameters and the ModPlug one to loop the MOD files correctly.

No problem so far, but I need to double-check looping since MOD files and similar formats can have "loop points".

libmodplug is licensed under public domain, so no licensing issue should arise...

I will have a look at SFML2 branch to integrate it properly.

EDIT :

Taken from libmodplug-0.8.7.tar.gz COPYING file :

ModPlug-XMMS and libmodplug are now in the public domain.

Well, since I had some time to kill, I give it a go on the standard SFML 1.5 VS2008 SDK sources.

It was rather easy actually, I followed the following steps :

- Hooked up my "basic" libmodplug.lib + modplug.h in the extlibs
- Added a SoundFileMod class in the Audio subsystem, similar to SoundFileOgg
- Hooked up SoundFileMod class in the SoundFile main class

I have now MOD/S3M/XM/IT files playing flawlessly in SFML with great quality, however only "basic" stuff (no loop, volume, etc.. setup but it can easily be added IMHO).

Laurent, are you interested in me sharing that with you ?
Have you some special recommendations on the coding idioms so I can submit a proper "patch" ?

Hi !
I thought a nice feature for SFML would be to handle module music files.
I had a look at the Audio subsystem source code, and I think it could be easily added, by using the libmodplug library.

Are any other users interested in ?
I could give it a go, but on which version should I start patching ?
