Sound missing?

#1 I know there is support for it (just look at the demos), but truthfully, I don't know how to use it yet either. >.<

#2 It's not too tricky, take a look at the shooter demo code.

Basically, you need the following:

Setup your datablocks.

$GuiAudioType     = 0;

new AudioDescription(AudioNonLooping)
{
   volume   = 1.0;
   isLooping= false;
   is3D     = false;
   type     = $GuiAudioType;
};

new AudioDescription(AudioLooping)
{
   volume   = 1.0;
   isLooping= true;
   is3D     = false;
   type     = $GuiAudioType;
};

new AudioProfile(GroovinMusicAudio)
{
	filename = "~/client/sounds/Groovin.ogg";
	description = "AudioLooping";
	preload = true;
};

This sets up the basic structure of the audio, and specifies types for both looping and non-looping sound effects.

After that, we define the sound effects in a similar way to how to you setup sprite data. Note you can use both .ogg and .wav files.

The next step is to play your audio as follows:

alxPlay( GroovinMusicAudio );

This will get your GroovinMusic playing. Because the type of audio is set to loop when we defined it, it will automatically repeat when it reaches the end.

We can also assign the music to a variable so we can easily check if the music is already playing. Instead of using the line above, you can use:

if (!alxIsPlaying($menuMusicAudio))
{
	$menuMusicAudio=alxPlay( GroovinMusicAudio );
}

That says, if the menu music isn't already playing, start it going.

To stop all sounds from playing, use:

alxStopAll();

I'm sure there's plenty more you can do, but that should get you going :)

#3 Torque 2D support ogg?

#4 From the posted code block (emphasis mine:

new AudioProfile(GroovinMusicAudio)
{
   [b]filename = "~/client/sounds/Groovin.[i]ogg[/i]";[/b]
   description = "AudioLooping";
   preload = true;
};

#5 2 things
1)

new AudioDescription/AudioProfile

is for client side languages later where networking is up and running if you are having the server send sound to the client you need to do

datablock AudioDescription/AudioProfile

2) When they are called from the server you won't use

alxPlay(soundName)

instead

%client.play2d(soundName);

the alxplay() seems to cause side effect with mouseover buttons as well, as making the first call to %client.play2d() repeat indefinatly.

@Danny I belive ogg suppory has been included into standard torque so, yes
