MO3 Music Format

[TmS]

It would be very nice and attractive if a future version of AGS could support other music formats like MO3 (http://www.un4seen.com/), for instance.

MO3 is a file format, encapsulating the features of several "MOD" formats (IT / XM / S3M / MTM / MOD), but with one big difference - MP3 and OGG compressed samples. A lossless codec is also incorporated for any samples that don't like lossy encoding, and the whole file structure is compressed too  :o. 

So, vox files should take less space if you usually use Tracker Music Formats for musics in AGS .

In fact, the BASS library supports this music format. BASS is an audio library for use in Windows software. It's purpose is to provide developers with the most powerful and efficient (yet easy to use), sample, stream (MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG, WAV, custom generated, and more via add-ons), MOD music (XM, IT, S3M, MOD, MTM, UMX), MO3 music (MP3/OGG compressed MODs), and recording functions.

Maybe, it would be interesting to use/convert this in a AGS Plugin or include it directly inside AGS  ...

I'd rather not add any more music formats to AGS, for fear of bloating the engine. It already supports MIDI, MOD, XM, S3M, IT, MP3, OGG and WAV, which should be plenty for everyone.

If someone wants to write a plugin to support extra formats, it should be possible.

Ok, I think I'll manage it  (give me some time for learning how to use the AGS Plugin API and I'll try to build it as soon as possible  ).
