create API for use in other apps #7

I'd suggest moving MediaPlayer out of the library and into the executable: that will also get rid of the ImGui / gvdi dependency. The lib can then only link to capo and libxmp, and games/engines linking to it will be free to use their own windowing/rendering systems.

- Call
set_looping()before callingplay(), just in case it finishes playing before you manage to set it to loop 😛 - IMO
m_statusis unnecessary, and risks going out of sync: it may be playing now but could have stopped in the next second

Keep in mind that this does nothing for XM streams.

Getting rid of m_status (and instead just interpreting m_source->is_playing()) will also enable getting rid of this update() function entirely.

yeah, agreed that status is kind of useless now. I was holding on to it just in the case of standard compressed audio format + tracking whether the stream is paused or stopped, but I'm just going to get rid of it.

If this is also a library, is there no example executable anymore? What are we supposed to run after building / during development?

the executable is in app/src
extract functionality into an API-friendly header file, and re-work
MediaPlayerto eliminate redundancy
