I'm trying to modify the 8'th tutorial on OpenAl and make a fuction that will
stop the sound and then play it again from the start, but i'm having some difficulties with this. Can you post a snippet of how would you write such a function?

you would need to change the while loop in the main() to check for key input and process it ... something like this:

bool running = true;
while(running)
{
   char=getKeyBoardInput(); ///not that this needs to not pause the system 
   if(char == "P"||char=="p")
        ogg.playback();
   if(char=="S||char=="s")
       ogg.stop();
   if(char=="q"||char=="Q")
       running =false;

   ogg.idle();
}

idle() should look something like this:

idle()
{
 if(playing)
 {
   if(!update())
   {
      alSourceStop(source);
      ov_raw_seek(&oggStream,0);
    }
 }
}

you should be able to make stop just:

stop()
{
   alSourceStop(source);
   ov_raw_seek(&oggStream,0);
 }

if you wanted to do a pause it should simply be:

pause()
{
  alSourcePause(source);
}

now I'm no expert, but I think that'll work. if anyone sees anything wrong with that please correct me.
