Sub-app + sound

[Nifflas]

When I use a sub-app in an application which has sound, will the sub-app also pass it's sound output to the main application, or will it open the sound device on it's own resulting in the device being opened twice?

I know that with MMF1.x (and possibly 2?) sound extensions was unable to pass sound to the main application, so if you used two sound extensions (one for "module" music, one for sound), they would individually attempt to open the sound device. Works on new computers, but old ones can only handle one at a time. I have no idea if it's the same with sub-apps though.

I don't know how they open the sound device, but if the extensions you're talking about have been just simply converted with the MMF2 SDK, then they work like in MMF 1.5. If you need a specific extension to open the sound device only once, contact the author of the extension and ask him directly.

You could use GlobalFunction to send a trigger to the main app to make a sound.

Yves: How about a main application, and sub application, that only uses MMF2's inbuilt sound support? Will they both attempt to open the device on their own?

The built-in sound routines open the sound device only once.
