Description Amit Jain 2015-07-24 08:11:03 UTC 
Current Limitation:
      1. There is no way to play mp3 file from HTTP/FTP using SDL_mixer API. 
      2. Game Developers have to use multiple APIs of smpeg library to   
         play/pause/resume mp3 from remote (HTTP/FTP).

There should be an API in SDL_mixer that can be used by Game developer to play mp3 file from remote (HTTP/FTP).

New API has been added to support mp3 music play from remote (HTTP/FTP)

Extension API has been provided in SDL_mixer to support mp3 streaming.

  Mix_Music *Mix_LoadMUS_Remote(int socketDescriptor, Mix_MusicType type)
  [IN] - socketDescriptor - Socket descriptor - TCP Socket, user will create SockFD from URL where mp3 file is located. 
  [IN] - type - Type of music.
  [out] - returns Mix_Music structure pointer on success & NULL if fail.

   This API is responsible for following things.
     1. Load Music type = mp3 from Remote & return Mix_Music structure.
     2. Mix_Music structure pointer will be used to play remote mp3 using mixer APIs.

Result: Game developers can now directly use SDL_mixer APIs to play/pause/resume mp3 from HTTP/FTP (streaming) using above API.

Probably a better way to handle this is to create a new type of SDL_RWop that wraps a network socket, that way all the loaders would be able to use it seamlessly. That seems like it might be a good thing to put in the core SDL library.
