exult and sound

I was wondering if it would be easier and possibly more portable to use the SDL_sound package to support sound and music.

More information are found there:

Isn't SDL_Sound for decoding various audio formats?

I can somewhat understand the easier part.

the portable part makes me scratch my head. All sound data used in exult is already portable(ie not tied to a specific platform).

playing ogg on zaurus will require much more work, and many more libraries.

SDLSound depends on external libraries anyways(No libvorbis, no ogg playing).

Tho, I'd probably use the integer decoder on the zaurus, rather than the FP decoder(Which I assume would be the one that libvorbis uses by default)
