Heelx wrote a nice free wrapper DLL for the FMOD audio engine. You can get it here! You may ask yourself, “Why do i need this plugin?”. The answer is quite simple. It does enhance sound playback, not only is it faster than standard hardware sound acceleration but also it has great features such as internet streaming, audio cd playback, spectral analysis and so on.

The only thing you need to know is that this wrapper allows you to use FMOD wich is free for freeware products, costs 100$ for shareware authors and 6000$ if you plan on using it in a commercial project. Word of Warcraft for example uses it. So grab this for your next freeware project or big commercial MMORPG!
Here is a quote from Heelx about his plugin:

FMOD is a cross-platform audio engine, which makes it easy for you to use current audio technologies in your software. No other audio engine offers such a rich and up-to-date platform support. FMOD isn’t only available for the Windows 32 bit system, but also for 11 other systems, among them e.g. Windows 64bit (AMD64), Linux, Macintosh and all game consoles available on the market. FMOD is being and was used by over one hundred commercial games, for example in “World of Warcraft” or “Flat Out”. With the Lite-C FMOD wrapper plugin DLL for A7 / Lite-C, all of those features will be enabled for you – no matter which edition of the A7 engine you own or if you „just“ use the free Lite-C distribution.

Wicht has released a free DLL for file handling functions wich are not available in wdl script. It is available both as lite-c and c-script plugin.
