My code is like this:


--- INITIALIZE BASS LIBRARY:

procedure initialize_bass_library ()
--// Check that BASS 1.5 was loaded
 if BASS_GetVersion() != MakeLong(1, 5) then
  error ("BASS Version 1.5 was not Loaded, Incorrect BASS.DLL")
 end if
--// Initialize digital sound - default device, 44100hz, stereo, 16 bits, no
syncs used
 if not(BASS_Init(-1, 44100, or_all ({BASS_DEVICE_LEAVEVOL}),
     getHandle(Main_window))) then
  error("Can't Initialize Digital Sound System")
 end if
 setScrollPos (Loudness_slider, BASS_GetVolume ())
end procedure


--- PLAY FILE:

Cur_stream = BASS_StreamCreateFile(0, entry [ENTRY_FILENAME], 0, 0,
BASS_MP3_SETPOS)
if Cur_stream = 0 then
    error ("Couldn't play file " & entry [ENTRY_FILENAME])
    return
end if
if not(BASS_StreamPlay(Cur_stream, 0, BASS_SAMPLE_LOOP)) then
    error ("Can't play file " & entry [ENTRY_FILENAME])
    return
end if

I'm making some sort of winamp clone, so I need to be able to seek to
position in song.
