# MikWin DirectSound

## Version 3.1.5.3

This is the first release of the MikMod module-player library running on Windows. It is based on MikMod Unix 3.1.5 Beta and plays via DirectSound.

## Requirements

Any Windows-version with DirectX 3 or higher.

## Documentation

For using the MikMod-Interface see the Original Unix Docs.

## New Features

The new function `Player_Start_threaded` behaves exactly like `Player_Start` except that it uses a background thread for playback. So you won't have to call `MikMod_update` - this is done for you! See the example program mikmini.c.
I also have added a new wrapper for MOD-playback. See the Delphi example for details. Perhaps I should write some more documentation for this... ;-)

## License

The MikMod sound library is covered by the GNU Library General Public License, which you can find in COPYING.LIB. The example programs are distributed under the GNU Public License, see examples\COPYING.
