I am writing an STe digital sample player, and am having a problem with fread.

count = fread(buffer, size, n, fp);

I give it all the correct parameters, and verified this by printing them
out beforehand.

The problem is that the command won't ALWAYS read the "n" bytes that I request.
"count" ends up less than "n".

Since I am doing this several times in a row (and advancing the "buffer")
to load large samples, there are gaps in the sample when it is played.

Does fread stop when it encounters a certain byte code, thinking it has
reached the end of file?


AAron nAAs     Yes, once I get this STe digital sample player totally working,
               I WILL post it to the net!!
