Error Reference
===============
The following errors are currently defined:
General Errors
--------------
`MMERR_DYNAMIC_LINKING'
This error occurs when a specific driver was requested, but the
support shared library couldn't be loaded. Currently, the only
drivers which can yield this error are the ALSA, EsounD and Ultra
drivers.
`MMERR_OPENING_FILE'
This error occurs when a file can not be opened, either for read
access from a `xx_Loadxx' function, or for write access from the
disk writer drivers.
`MMERR_OUT_OF_MEMORY'
This error occurs when there is not enough virtual memory
available to complete the operation, or there is enough memory but
the calling process would exceed its memory limit. MikMod does not
do any resource tuning, your program has to use the `setrlimit'
function to do this if it needs to load very huge samples.
Sample Errors
-------------
`MMERR_SAMPLE_TOO_BIG'
This error occurs when the memory allocation of the sample data
yields the error `MMERR_OUT_OF_MEMORY'.
`MMERR_OUT_OF_HANDLES'
This error occurs when your program reaches the limit of loaded
samples, currently defined as 384, which should be sufficient for
most cases.
`MMERR_UNKNOWN_WAVE_TYPE'
This error occurs when you're trying to load a sample which format
is not recognized.
Module Errors
-------------
`MMERR_ITPACK_INVALID_DATA'
This error occurs when a compressed module sample is corrupt.
`MMERR_LOADING_HEADER'
This error occurs when you're trying to load a module which has a
corrupted header, or is truncated.
`MMERR_LOADING_PATTERN'
This error occurs when you're trying to load a module which has
corrupted pattern data, or is truncated.
`MMERR_LOADING_SAMPLEINFO'
This error occurs when you're trying to load a module which has
corrupted sample information, or is truncated.
`MMERR_LOADING_TRACK'
This error occurs when you're trying to load a module which has
corrupted track data, or is truncated.
`MMERR_MED_SYNTHSAMPLES'
This error occurs when you're trying to load a MED module which
has synthsounds samples, which are currently not supported.(1)
`MMERR_NOT_A_MODULE'
This error occurs when you're trying to load a module which format
is not recognized.
`MMERR_NOT_A_STREAM'
This error occurs when you're trying to load a sample with a
sample which format is not recognized.
Driver Errors
-------------
Generic Driver Errors

linear sound output, which are the requested settings.
`MMERR_8BIT_ONLY'
This error occurs when the sound device doesn't support non-8 bit
linear sound output, which are the requested settings.

device in non blocking mode.
`MMERR_OPENING_AUDIO'
This error occurs when the driver can not open sound device.
`MMERR_STEREO_ONLY'

output, which is the requested setting.
`MMERR_ULAW'
This error occurs when the sound device only supports uLaw output
(which implies mono, 8 bit, and 8000 Hz sampling rate), which
isn't the requested setting.

configuration has failed.
`MMERR_AIX_CONFIG_INIT'
This error occurs when the "Init" step of the device configuration
has failed.
`MMERR_AIX_CONFIG_START'

configuration has failed.
Ultra Driver Specific Errors
............................
`MMERR_GUS_RESET'
This error occurs when the sound device couldn't be reset.
`MMERR_GUS_SETTINGS'
This error occurs because the sound device only works in 16 bit
linear stereo sound at 44100 Hz, which is not the requested
settings.

---------- Footnotes ----------
(1) You can force libmikmod to load the module (without the
synthsounds, of course) by setting the `curious' parameter to `1' when
invoking `Player_Loadxx'.
