I am using the LoadSound:TSound and PlaySound:TChannel commands to load and play music from an .ogg file but it is taking a long time (for a computer - around 15 seconds) to load and start the music. I want it to load and start the music much faster (perhaps loading it as it is being played).
Is there a faster way of doing it?

There is no way to stream music in BlitzMax natively. Currently the only way of doing this is by using an external library such as FMod, Bass and a few others. Not sure if there are any free ones.
Sorry, current version of maxmod is out off action until blitzmax 1.28 (email me if you would like an older version that still works) awaiting a fix to the pub.directx module.
