It states in the documenation of LoadSound "the url can be either a string, a stream or a TAudioSample object." I am trying to figure out how to get the LoudSound command to load from a stream but I think I do not have the syntax correct. When i run the program there are no errors, it just doesn't play the music. Listed below is the program:

in=ReadStream("music.ogg")

While Not Eof(in)
sound=LoadSound(in)
PlaySound sound
Wend
CloseStream in
End

Thats wrong

you would have

local in:TStream = readStream("music.ogg")

sound = loadsound(in)

for example.

the "read from stream" is mainly for 2 purposes:

dynamically generated sound
sound that has been read into a bank that was previously stored encrypted as file (-> no need to unencrypt onto the disk and load from there)

I have converted it to what is above and still no music. There are no errors though, the program runs through to Process Complete.

What is a dynamically generated sound and how is it different from a normal sound?
