[SOLVED] Closing file handle for static sounds.

Hello,

I've noticed that OgreOggSound doesn't close file handle for sound until it is destroyed. It's ok for streamed sound, but what is the reason to keep it open for static (non-streamed) sound?
I use Marmalade with the restriction for maximum 32 file handles, therefore can not even preload all needed sounds.

Are you talking about the mOggStream/mAudioStream pointers?

I guess they could be cleaned up after the data load..

I've added the marked line in OgreOggSoundManager.cpp, function _loadSoundImpl():

// Load audio file
Ogre::DataStreamPtr stream = _openStream(file);
sound->_openImpl(stream);

if (!sound->mStream) stream->close(); // it's my line!


Now it's ok.
The limit for the number of simultaneously opened files differs from system to system, from 512 in C run-time libraries to 16384 in Win32 API.
For some reason in cross-platform Marmalade library the limit is set to only 32, that's why I couldn't preload all sounds that I need.
