Audio doesn't work

The Symbian class CMdaAudioOutputStream doesn't work within an EXE program.

I believe I can get it to work using an CActiveScheduler or perhaps an RThread, however everything that I have tried so far doesn't work.

*sobs*

Symbia hates Static

You cannot use static variables in Symbian. I will say that again, you cannot use static variables in Symbian. No globals at the top of your files, to static class variables, no function local variables.

Why is it that Symbian INSISTS on changing fundamental C programming concepts, so that you are FORCED to reprogram your code, which RUNS ON EVERY SYSTEM EVER CREATED, except for symbian, to work around the fucked up hamstrung bastard Symbian OS and SDK.

Symbian made me cry

Carbide for Symbian stopped compiling my project, actually that is a lie, it NEVER managed to compile my project. I switched to it after the visual studio 2003 symbian plugin system stopped compiling my project. In fact, if you have a minute, it stopped compiling my project and started compiling files which were not even in my project.

So now I am using the command line to try and build my projects, but now I have a new problem, I am getting errors and warnings that I never got before, I am having to restructure my code simply to get it to compile; which it isn't yet. And why hasn't it? Why because it cannot run "link.exe" a file which doesn't come with the Symbian SDK install.

I have been at this for 2 MONTHS. I do not believe I am stupid, I have written many games and projects over the years. So why do I have so much trouble using the Symbian system? I hope someone reads this and tells me what I am doing wrong, please, please help me, my insides hurt and it makes me cry.
