Bad news. It turned out that V0.1.0 contains some BIG, evil bugs. Here's my
summary from the webpage:
<td>Making a fool of oneself is the best way of learning, some say. Well,
that certainly applies in this case. We released LibPenguinPlay 0.1.0
to the public without testing whether the built dynamic library actually
works (all the testing was done with a static lib in a special environment)
and without testing all API functions. Shame on me (creinig).<br>
It turned out that (1) libpenguinplay.so wasn't linked to libdl.so and thus
even refused to load, that (2) the ppfChdir () API function was completely
broken and (3) several other API functions also hadn't been tested at all.
Sorry for that. It won't happen again.<br>
An updated version, LibPenguinPlay-0.1.1, is available for
<a href="infrastructure.php3#FTP">download</a> now. It fixes the libdl.so dependency
problem as well as the ppfChdir () bugs. I'll also immediately start
testing the yet "neglected" functions, and upload a v0.1.2 archive once
everything looks good.
Fsck!!
Paul, is the entire PSound API tested?
