Hi,
I started using cocosDension for a new product that has a ton of voice over because I needed support for ima4 compressed files. Anyway, after I upped the max number of loaded sounds to something reasonable everything was working fine.
However, last night I converted some new wav files to caf using the same batch process I had used before. For some reason, these files simply won't load in dension at all, yet I converted them the same way as before. All of the files are mono, 44100 wav saved out of Sound Forge in a batch process. They were converted to ima4 cafs using afconvert:

afconvert -f caff -d ima4 filename.wav

Any ideas?

Do a debug build and check the console output when the sounds are being loaded. If you want to paste the output here, I'll have a look.

Ok, did some looking into this; it was driving me crazy. Turns out xcode had not added them to the build correctly; simply deleting the reference and re-adding them fixed it. There goes three hours. Anyway, the odd thing is that the file missing check in CD wasn't being thrown; it was acting as if the file was there but the data was still coming in as NULL. Annoying, but there ya go..

BTW steve; why the hard coded limit on number of sounds loaded? From looking at the code briefly, it seems as if it's only there so you can malloc a maximum number of buffers at init time and avoid re-sizing. While that's good for speed, I doubt that'd be a big bottleneck.. I upped mine to 256 and it seems to be working fine, but I was just curious as to why..

^ There is no real reason. It was quick to do and suited my purposes.
