.xm and .s3m file doesn't play in BASS library

Question

When I choose .mp3 file, it will play when launching setup.exe but when I change it to .xm or .s3m, it doesn't play

[Setup]
AppName=Bass Audio Project
AppVersion=1.0
DefaultDirName={pf}\Bass Audio Project

[Files]
Source: "Bass.dll"; Flags: dontcopy
Source: "tune.xm"; Flags: dontcopy

[CustomMessages]
SoundCtrlButtonCaptionSoundOn=Play
SoundCtrlButtonCaptionSoundOff=Mute

[Code]
const  
  BASS_SAMPLE_LOOP = 4;
  BASS_ACTIVE_STOPPED = 0;
  BASS_ACTIVE_PLAYING = 1;
  BASS_ACTIVE_STALLED = 2;
  BASS_ACTIVE_PAUSED  = 3;
  BASS_UNICODE = $80000000;
  BASS_CONFIG_GVOL_STREAM = 5;
const
  #ifndef UNICODE
    EncodingFlag = 0;
  #else
    EncodingFlag = BASS_UNICODE;
  #endif
type
  HSTREAM = DWORD;

      SoundCtrlButton.Caption := 'Play'; 
      Muted := True;
    end;

    else

    begin
      SoundCtrlButton.Caption := 'Mute'; 
      Muted := False;
    end;
  end;
end;

procedure InitializeWizard;
begin
  ExtractTemporaryFile('tune.xm');
  if BASS_Init(-1, 44100, 0, 0, 0) then
  begin
    SoundStream := BASS_StreamCreateFile(False, 
      ExpandConstant('{tmp}\tune.xm'), 0, 0, 0, 0, 
      EncodingFlag or BASS_SAMPLE_LOOP);
    BASS_SetConfig(BASS_CONFIG_GVOL_STREAM, 2500);
    BASS_ChannelPlay(SoundStream, False);

    SoundCtrlButton := TNewButton.Create(WizardForm);
    SoundCtrlButton.Parent := WizardForm;
    SoundCtrlButton.Left := 8;
    SoundCtrlButton.Top := WizardForm.ClientHeight - 
      SoundCtrlButton.Height - 8;
    SoundCtrlButton.Width := 40;
    SoundCtrlButton.Caption :=
      ExpandConstant('{cm:SoundCtrlButtonCaptionSoundOff}');
    SoundCtrlButton.OnClick := @SoundCtrlButtonClick;
  end;
end;

procedure DeinitializeSetup;
begin
  BASS_Free;
end;

What should I do? I want to use to original file which is .xm or .s3m and not the converted one which is .mp3.

As seen on Un4seen, bass.dll supports .xm and .s3m.

Indeed, the BASS_StreamCreateFile returns 0 for both files.

And if you call BASS_ErrorGetCode afterwards, it returns 41 = BASS_ERROR_FILEFORM (unsupported file format).

function BASS_ErrorGetCode(): Integer;
  external 'BASS_ErrorGetCode@files:bass.dll stdcall';

SoundStream := BASS_StreamCreateFile(...);
if SoundStream = 0 then
begin
  Log(Format('Error playing file, error code = %d', [BASS_ErrorGetCode]));
end;

But as you correctly, hinted, you should use the BASS_MusicLoad for MO3 / IT / XM / S3M / MTM / MOD / UMX formats.

type
  HMUSIC = DWORD;

function BASS_MusicLoad(
    mem: BOOL; f: string; offset: Int64; length, flags, freq: DWORD): HMUSIC;
    external 'BASS_MusicLoad@files:bass.dll stdcall';

Replace the BASS_StreamCreateFile call with:

BASS_MusicLoad(
  False, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\tune.xm'), 0, 0,   
  EncodingFlag or BASS_SAMPLE_LOOP, 0)

Semantically, your should also rename the SoundStream variable to Music or similar; and change its type to HMUSIC.
