That makes sense. The description is pretty accurate, too ;)

OK, thanks, I'll try that. I thought the conversion was automatic.

SDL can play both 16-bit stereo and 16-bit mono - just not at the same
time.  
:)  Like, if you fed raw 8-bit samples directly into a 16-bit sound
device 
you'd get garbage..  something has to translate them to 16-bit first.

I presume you're using SDL_sound, since you mention OGG samples.  When
you 
create the music stream, be sure to inform SDL_sound that you REQUIRE
the 
stream's data format to match that of your current sound device;
otherwise it 
doesn't know it's supposed to give you anything but the channels and
sample 
rate of your music file.
