   Issues with SDL_Mixer skipping when looping OGG files
  I've spent a few hours at this, and I'm not having much luck.  Does anyone have any insight they could offer?I'm using a slightly modified build of the latest SDL_Mixer (Modified such that I can specify a loop point in an audio stream to have it loop from there instead of the beginning of the stream), but in both this modified SDL_Mixer and the original SDL_Mixer, I get a ~1/4 second delay between when the end of the stream is reached and when play resumes (either from the start of the stream, or the loop point in my custom build).  Does anyone know anything about how SDL_Mixer works I could use to fix the skipping problem?

(There's actually a entry on this in the SDL_mixer Bugzilla log; it looks like seamless looping is a feature they just never got around to adding.)After messing around with this for a while, I finally switched to streaming the music files myself (using the Vorbis library) and feeding the audio to SDL_mixer via the music mixing callback. An additional benefit of this was that in addition to seamless looping I also got seamless track queueing, which can be useful in terms of linking different parts of an arrangement together (e.g. intro, body, etc.) without introducing noticeable audio artifacts.If there's a way to get SDL_mixer to loop .ogg files seamlessly using the built-in music playback functions I'd certainly be interested to know about it, but as far as I know, it's not possible.   ;  My edit was simply an extra property in the _Mix_Music struct that could be set (and defaulted to 0), and in halt_or_loop_music, the call the restarted the music simply used music->loop_start (my extra member of the struct) as the start position instead of 0.   ;  My edit was simply an extra property in the _Mix_Music struct that could be set (and defaulted to 0), and in halt_or_loop_music, the call the restarted the music simply used music->loop_start (my extra member of the struct) as the start position instead of 0.
