Crash

[OriginTwo]

Hello, I'm having an issue with loading ma_sound. The program always crash when I call 'ma_sound_init_from_file()'.

It usually crashes here:

But sometimes, it crashes because of an assertion failure:

You need to post your initialization code.

It seems that I've solved the problem.

I have a function that load the sound for me, it looks something like this:

ma_sound load_sound(ma_engine *engine, const char *filepath)
{
    ma_sound sound = {0};
    ma_result result = ma_sound_init_from_file(engine, filepath, flags, NULL, NULL, &sound);
    return sound;
}

What I did was change it to look something like this:

void load_sound(ma_sound *sound, ma_engine *engine, const char *filepath)
{
    ma_result result = ma_sound_init_from_file(engine, filepath, flags, NULL, NULL, sound);
}

Yep, the ma_sound structure is a transparent struct, not a handle. As soon as the function returns that object will end up getting destroyed. You need to manage the lifetime of the ma_sound object yourself.
