I'm a newbie in ppc programming and I'm planning to write a 2d game. I've two questions about audio programming, please help me to understand.

1. There are structures such as "WAVEFORMAT_MIDI" documented in ppc sdk, is it possible to play midi files using them together with waveOut family ?

2. I want the program to handle user inputs, character animations and sound effects while midi playing in the background, is it possible to do this with the MFC multithreaded programming ?

Thankyou

PPCs don't have midi support. Most developers use a 3rd party library (MikMod, FMod, Hekkus, etc), which play music modules (MOD, XM, etc). There's no real use in implementing a low level sound library yourself when free alternatives are out there (MikMod and Hekkus).
