Because the EXE files are going to be really large and users are known to complain about a c. 1MB EXE file only to print "HELLO, WORLD!" out of this programming system.
I am writing a program and would like to make it as a standalone/self-contained .exe, without any extra files being required.
If the wave files are few and short, this might be a good idea of yours. Notice that if you try to use a low sampling rate like 22050Hz this programming system might resample them to 44100Hz or whatever the sound card supports. "Might" because I remember QB64 v0.98 had some code for changing the sampling rate of some wave file, to play it back through "_SNDRAW" or something like that.
One good thing is that a "lossy" format file like OGG could be converted to PCM data by QB64PE, so all that needs to be done is to transfer a "_MEMSOUND" buffer into a string and then use "_DEFLATE$". @Dav 's routine was necessary because the string could contain some nasty control characters especially the ASCII0 that some programs cannot handle well.
Now I don't know how to "put it back" in a way supported by QB64PE, might have to fiddle directly with the "SOUND" field in "_MEM" UDT.
