Title: Ambient wav support
Post by: Sequence on August 06, 2020, 03:55:55 AM

I want some ambience in the background. I can use the "load" sound to play a song but I would like a single entry.
    <sound type="load"      src="sounds/load.wav" />
    <sound type="unload"    src="sounds/unload.wav" />
    <sound type="highlight" src="sounds/highlight.wav" />
    <sound type="select"    src="sounds/select.wav" />


    <sound type="ambient"    src="sounds/ambient.wav" />

It's possible to use the video tag for that I believe. That's how CoinOPS does it at the moment. I'm planning to add more elaborate jukebox functionality as soon as I get my Linux compile environment up and running again.
