OgreAL .ogg fail / library for MOD files

When I use
self.bgMusic = self.soundManager.createSound("MenuMusic", "Crystal Caverns.ogg", True)

I get

When I use
self.bgMusic = self.soundManager.createSoundStream("MenuMusic", "Crystal Caverns.ogg", True)

I get

Also I want to play module files too. I found PySonic, but the last version is for Python 2.4 (released 2005). Any ideas?

What version of Python-Ogre are you using? There has been a numbrer of improvements in the base OgreAL library which are in the Python-Ogre 1.2 RC1 release..

As for 'mod' files you can use the plib module for these or convert them to something that OgreAL supports.

Maybe OgreAL has an problem with the space in the filename?

Nope, I tried many combinations

I'll post if I get it figured out, and try upgrading too. Quite a few of the demos crash for me, is this normal?

Upgraded to Python-Ogre 1.2 RC1, now the Basic_sound demo crashes.

"python has encountered a problem and needs to close..."

I'm using Python 2.5.1

I thought maybe to upgrade OpenAL, but looks like the last release was 2006.

Have you heard about this "OpenAL soft"?

As it would seem to be a problem between OpenAL and your Nivida sound card (I'm assuming you've updated your drivers to the latest versions) you could force the software implementation:
self.soundmanager=OgreAL.SoundManger("Generic Software")

New user coming through, hello

Anyhow, as I see you are trying to stream modules/other than .wav formats, let me recommend PyGame's mixer (for simplicity).

It's as simple as this:
import pygame.mixer
pygame.mixer.init()
pygame.mixer.music.load('data/music/module.xm')
pygame.mixer.music.play()

But then again, my needs of audio arn't quite much.
