[SDL] SDL_mixer question

[Kostas Kostiadis]

Hello all,
 
I've recently started looking at SDL_mixer stuff and I have some
questions...
 
The docs mention that "music is not played on a normal mixer channel".
 
Q1)
Does that mean I can only have 1 "music" playing at any one time?
i.e. I can only do Mix_LoadMUS and Mix_PlayMusic for a single file...
If I need to play a different music file, I need to Mix_HaltMusic and
Mix_FreeMusic, and then start over (with load and play)
 
Q2)
Assuming I have my background music playing...say I need to play some SFX at
the same time...
Is this done using the Mix_LoadWAV and then the Channel family of functions
(i.e. Mix_AllocateChannels, Mix_PlayChannel, etc.)?
 
Q3)
I'm guessing to start off with I don't need to worry about effects, right?
I can just use the build-in processors for now (if needed).
 
 
thx in advance,
K.
