PlaySoundFile("Interface\\AddOns\\MyAddon\\CustomSound.ogg")

works now.

Replacing sounds in the default Data\Sound directory does not work still.

Custom ogg files work in PlaySoundFile, custom MP3 files still do not (silent failure).

Not sure if this is a remaining bug or if they are intentionally dropping MP3 support.

At this point, it's probably intentional.

Given the environmental differences between live and beta/ptr I wouldn't accept anything as gospel until it's presented on the live servers.

I can't get any custome sounds to be audible even though PlaySoundFile true for willPlay (.ogg, .wav, .mp4).

I can play .oggs but it's dogshit. You must use single forward slash in the playstring.

I've tried single forward and double back, nada. I know the files work outside WoW and PlaySoundFile seems to think they're ok. So much for my first attemt to use custom audio unless they need specific formating like textures.

Any confirmation on the mp3 unsupport? Because if Blizzard realises "Oh guys it wasn't working because we slipped 1 char with the file extension" while i'm converting my fuckloads of mp3 files, i'll be mad.

I'm not sure if you're not suffering from the same thing I am. I played an mp3 files and PlaySoundFile returned true for willPlay but I heard nothing. I downloaded FemaleAnnouncer to test and the .ogg files in that addon played and I heard but my .ogg files "willPlay" but I don't hear anything. It's a mystery.

Edit: It turns out my problem is that not all .ogg files are the same.

Wow was very pricky about the mp3 encoding either, the willPlay probably only test if it's a right extension or not.

Not sure, just tested it with yesterday's patch, however seems like it's working with both ways today. However i could have made a typo and thats why it failed after beeing up for 15 hours of coding.
