Description muellppb 2015-05-16 01:23:17 UTC 
I think it would be nice to have mp3 and flac support for LoadWav_RW or is there a particular reason that I'm not aware of? 

I even found a (the?) GitHub-Project for a Blackberry OS10 port where mp3 and flac support were added (and, as I could see from skimming through the patch, in a platform-independant way). The repository in question is: https://github.com/drodin/SDL2_mixer

So I think it _probably_ (one never knows) wouldn't be much work to adapt the relevant patches to get them to work with the current SDL2_mixer-Code. 

I even volunteer to test (well, at least for Windows and Linux) and adapt the patches if necessary.

(Side-note concerning flac-support: The Documentation says "no", but it is mentioned in Bug #543 and I haven't tried it yet)

Mix_LoadWAV_RW() already supports FLAC and MP3.

I haven't had time to test it, so I close this ticket for now and open up another if there are bugs.
