I'm new to BASS.  I use Delphi XE2 and have had no problem running the VCL examples that come with the BASS package.  Then I downloaded and tried the FMBassDemo and have had no luck getting it to play.  Everything compiles fine (and yes, I made the slight code adjustment to the Open Dialog filter) and I am able to locate the files I want.  But they do not play.  I tried this as a 32 bit Win .exe and an OS-X build, but no luck either way.  Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

 What return BASS_ErrorGetCode ?

[fitz906]

BASS_StreamCreateFile is returning a HSTREAM chan value of $B0000001 and the call to

BASS_ChannelPlay(chan, False);

is returning false.

Added some code to check the BASS_ErrorGetCode value.  It returned a value of 4  =  BASS_ERROR_BUFLOST after the call to BASS_ChannelPlay(chan, False);

Well, for some reason, setting the Win Handle to 0 in the call to BASS_Init makes everything okay and all files play well.  Don't know why this would be but, hey, if it works, it works ?

BASS_ERROR_BUFLOST can result from using an invalid window handle in the BASS_Init call. Using 0 there tells BASS to take the handle of the foreground window, which may not belong to your app, so it is generally better to provide your app's main window handle whenever possible. What handle were you using when you got the BASS_ERROR_BUFLOST error?

BASS_ERROR_BUFLOST is a Windows/DirectSound thing that doesn't apply to other platforms, so if you're having trouble on OSX too, it will be something else that is going wrong there; are you getting a different error code from a different function?
