ARCed Audio Player

[Ryex]

ok, so I re-factored PyXAL a bit. same interface on the surface but it should now force the garbage collection in python to destroy the C++ stuff too. the GC in 2.7 seems great it destorys the sounds as soon as all the references to them is lost (that includes players playing them)

You don't ever need to use a hstr pointer. Consider hstr a base type like int or float. If you create a hstr from a char pointer, the data will be copied and you still have to delete the original char pointer if you allocated it with the new operator.

ok so. whats new in XAL 2.2?

[Blizzard]

Damn, you're fast to notice. >_>
It has some threading issues fixed along and should be much more stable now. It also has updated code for XLN files to be extension insensitive.

And I just realized that I didn't compile it with WAV support yet again. >.<

EDIT: Fixed. I also tagged these versions in the SVN repository as xal/tags/2.2 and hltypes/tags/1.4.1 so they can be recompiled any time if needed.

Ok, so I updated the interfaced to Pyxal the best I could but I can't be sure I got everything. can you list the recent changed tot he interface so I can be sure?

[Blizzard]

There shouldn't be too many changes. I don't remember which SVN revision of XAL/HLTypes I built last time so I can't really check on the interface. :/ Your best bet is to go through the headers and update everything accordingly. Though, I think the only significant changes should be in AudioManager.h as a couple of methods were renamed.
