Replacement for expensive FMOD?

All,

I have been lurking on the forum and playing the demo levels for a while. I have an interest in building a commercial game with Cube. However, I don't want to put up the $2,000 per OS for Mac and Windows version of FMOD. Is there a reason for not using the SDL sound layer? Is FMOD simply faster?

I appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Rich

An advantage of fmod is the support for 3d sound. SDL sound does not - as far as I know - have it.
But there is OpenAL. That lib does support 3D sound. Try that lib.
