Hello

I am in the process of completeing my application. Here's what it does. The main tangible interface is a joystick. The main thread called the engine sits in the background and creates new threads as needed when the user wants it to. For example, when one hits button 1 of the joystick, mp3 decoding starts. When Joystick is moved to the left, it skips to the next song and so on.

That's where mad comes in.

The engine is completed and operational. Now I need to hack mad to suit my needs. What I need from mad is

- ability to build a playlist from sources listed in a configuration file (that's the easy part)

- stop/play mp3 decoding as needed: That is the main thread called engine controls mp3 playback via a flag maybe (inter-thread communication).

I have taken a look at the code, yet I am a bit unsure how the second paragraph can be done with mad easily... That is to say I want something very high-level and powerful as well. I would've taken a look at the API doc, but ...

I don't know what to do to acheive my goals...

Anyways suggestions/comments welcome. davoid
