Hi All,

I'm a newcomer to the Wintermute Engine, and I have a couple questions about its music and sound functionalities:

1. According to the manual, there are 5 music channels.  Are all five of these channels dedicated solely to music and not used by any PlaySound commands?  (Also, by default, does PlayMusic try to use Channel 0?)

2. I know there's not a built-in function for this, but could you suggest a way to filter an audio file within WME as to change the pitch or speed of the playback?

Thanks so much for your help!

just out of the curiosity, why would one want to speed up the playback, when it sounds so silly in audio files?

Remember those helium-filled baloons in Curse of Monkey Island?

can i adresse the Game.PlaySound to a channel like the Game.PlayMusic??
it is not documented this way.

but how can i change the volume of a specific sound while all others volume is staying constant ??

It's even more nice than that. You can attach the sound to any entity you have, so for example completely dynamic entity would look like:

var entity = Scene.CreateEntity();
entity.PlaySound("some_sound.ogg");
entity.SetSoundVolume(50);

this way you can attach your sounds to anything on scene without thinking about channels.
