Hooray I update to a newer version and crashing on loading levels is no more. The briefing music works like a charm, but I'm not getting any playback once I actually get in-game. Works everywhere else. Do OGG files have to be sampled at 33 kHz like your worklog says to do to MP3s, or are they fine ...

Hooray! Enabling the SDL mixer did allow the music to play! Unfortunately doing so also caused the program to complain about not having MSVCR71D.DLL.

I have every version of Descent I and II's (including vertigo) CD soundtrack ripped to high-quality flac. After reading your post, I'm mass converting them to OGG, but I'm wondering if I would be allowed to post a link to a torrent I shall make containing these files. I figure others would like such ...
