After some considerable testing, I found that Ogg files under 4kb do not work (see org.newdawn.slick.openal.OggInputStream line 154).

Is this by design or just unavoidable?

Mh, under 4 KB... why not use a wav then? I mean it shouldn't be this big right?

I was hoping to avoid having to use both. :)

why? ogg get's converted into a raw formant anyway if you just use them as sound (hence no streaming). wav is even better for sounds since there is no need to decode it that much :D

This is a bug with OggInputStream, also affecting LibGDX. Will look into a fix when time permits...

Looking into the source code, it seems to use hardcoded chunks of 4096 bytes for buffering.

I'd agree with R.D. Even when/if this bug gets fixed, using WAV is still the way to go for such small files. No audio compression, faster loading time, and a smaller filesize. There's really no benefit in using OGG.

For example, a 2.51 millisecond sound effect comes to 4,039 bytes as an OGG. The same sound effect comes to 266 bytes as a WAV.
