playing audio: RMF format

[peter.koellner]

hi!

I am trying to play a audioclip using
CMdaAudioPlayerUtility with a .rmf file.
When i do the NewPlayerL with that file, I get a -6 in the MMdaInitCallback,
which is "KErrArgument". What does that mean?

it is basically a bad request, so the CMdaAudioPlayerUtility didn't like one of your arguments supplied to it.

I'm not really sure if the rmf files are supported natively by symbian, but in case you are really interested, you could write your own plugin for it (Symbian OS 7.0 -->)

Well, KNotSupported is -5, not -6, and I am able to play the RMF clip from the gallery.

Unfortunately, I was unable to login this forum again yesterday to add that I have also tested a .wav file, with the same
result.

Maybe the problem is that the application is based on SDK 1.2, my testing device is a 6600 and this is the first real compatibility issue showing up.
The trouble is: either this is going to work today with SDK 1.2, or the whole feature is going to be abandoned from the application because development is becoming too expensive, if we have to spawn more code bases for minor device fractions.
That would look very bad for the platform.
