Hello everybody,

I have been browsing the forum for over an hour now, and trust me it
is a struggle, so slow.
I can't find anything about playing a sound in Lazarus, you know like
the mediaplayer in Delphi.

Can anybody give me a hint, or tell me what to look for.

I'm a really new to this so don't mind me asking maybe stupid
questions.

Running Lazarus on Ubuntu 8.04LTS, seems to run without any problems
up to now.

Thanks,
Alphons

Is there anything like that for video?
Btw. how could an existing player get embedded in a component? Or how
to embed anything else for that matter

search the forum for the following keywords: wav, sound, linux.

create one

capability for now. I found an example on the net (for Windows), but
haven't yet understood how to do it (the code is in C# if I'm not
mistaken).

I guess embedding a console application wouldn't be hard doing as
described here:

different. Using TProcess as described in the link is simulating,
embedding really takes the application interface (a form, for
instance) and put it inside your component.

Actually that is why i mentioned console applications - their user
interface is actually comprised of standard inputs and outputs. A
simple line based program's output could be completely "embedded" in
our application's form if needed. Of course, for more complex examples
with a TUI you'd need a terminal emulation but in essence that would
be it. (Won't talk about DOS console TUI apps though  )
