It's not *that* coplicated really, and many options have been suggested,
guess the 'sensitive' thing is that OP ended his original message with:


"Anyways I'll be happy too if I can play an not compressed audio file like
an  .aiff or .wav but in stereo? how the f*ck I do that?"

Which is not probably not the best way to find concrete advice on a list :)

I agree! By the way, that was my first post to the list, the whole thread
has been interesting thought!
