[OGG]

Maybe this is a problem already resolved, but I can't find the solution!

I have some .ogg files (7-10 Kb each one). With WinAmp they play ok. When I try to play with Bmax, the program crashes.

The first idea was: a bad ogg file.

I opened Audacity, loaded the ogg file, saved it as a wave, reloaded it and finally resaved as the new .ogg.

Same problem.

Only changing the 'quality compression' (in Audacity) to 10 (max quality - lowest compression) I have resolved the problem.

The question - now - is: is the Bmax .ogg loader module 'safe'? Do I need to convert ALL the .ogg files I find or create to the max quality? Is it normal?

[edit]
I created a new sound files from scratch and this works with ANY compression level...
Maybe my OGG files are corrupted...

I had the same problem. Small ogg files and quality set to 0 (lowest quality). BMX crashed when trying to open those files. Increasing quality solved the problem (I didn't have to go with max quality).
