A Minor Update and a new Sample App

We have released a new version of AMPE, version 0.5.1. Its a minor update which includes a few bug fixes and the missing dependencies I talked about in my previous post. Its available form the download section (on the right of this page).

The biggest change is addition of a new sample application. This is a simple audio player. It can play any Ogg Vorbis audio file. Stereo and mono audio files are played as normal, 6 channel files are mixed down to stereo in software. This mixing is experimental at present and is included because support for 5.1 sources in OpenAL is currently windows only (according to the mail list).

Unless the need for another minor release arises, the next version will have some more major changes. These updates are coming about as our content distribution systems media player starts to take shape.

We would be interested to hear any feedback anyone has. Use the email address on the contact page to get in touch (we don't bite).
