Description

Describe Your Suggestion

The current audio preview needs to be torn out, torched, and thrown away. It's causing bugs in different parts of the program (#253), can't handle identifying sound files based on their contents (#187), and can't currently handle anything other than wav files (#98).

The old audio preview should:

  • Be torn out

A new audio preview should:

  • Probably be based on libsndfile
    • Support wav
    • Support mp3
    • Support ogg
    • Anything else it supports
  • Not be a buggy piece of crap
    • Don't break adding files to pack file (how??)
    • Don't break loading another pack file in the same window (how??)
    • Handle mono/stereo appropriately
