Open Source ST-Sound

Open Source ST-Sound Library by Arnaud Carré v1.43 10 years later !! :-)
History...
In 1995 I created the YM file format and wrote ST-Sound, a program to play ATARI-ST on your PC. I was very happy to see how ST-Sound was popular. MS-Dos player at first, I write a Windows player, a winamp and a netscape plugin. ( then some website use Atari tunes !). And then time passed and I worked on other stuff. Quite often, some people asked me to release the source code, and I always answered that I should clean some code and add license stuff, so I never take time.. Now it's done ! 2005, ten years after the first ST-Sound creation, here is the ST-Sound library with sample project, all under BSD license. The code is not as clean as I hope but no time to change it. Don't forget almost all that stuff was written in 1995 :-)
Package details
ST-Sound library package comes with four main directories.: StSoundLibrary This is the most important directory. Portable ( I hope !! :-)) C++ code to play YM files into your own production. There is a simple "C like" user API, and you just need to include "StSoundLibrary.h" to work with YM files. See tutorial projects for details. Theorically should compile under windows, linux, etc. YmToWav Tutorial code. Portable ( I hope !! :-)) code to render an YM file into a WAV file. Works in command line. theorically should compile under windows, linux, etc. SmallYmPlayer Tutorial code. Non portable (windows only) real time YM player using StSoundLibrary. Works under windows (use the waveOut sound API) YmSampleFiles Only contains a set of YM sample files to fastly test the library without browsing the whole world wide web ! :-)
Compiling
The package is done to work very nicely with Microsoft Visual Studio. For Visual Studio users: Load StSound_vc2010.sln file into your lovely IDE and just build one of the tutorial sample or the main library. Everything should work like a charm without pain. For other users ( Linux, Gameboy color or any strange system), just search in your head some very, very oldschool knowledge and build a nice makefile :-) ( should be easy for StSoundLibrary)
