Q:

Ess wav file loading and playing

I've been trying to simply load a wav file into an AudioChannel object and play it but it keeps giving me an error stating "Unable to load sound test.wav"
What I'm doing is:
AudioChannel currentsound;
Ess.start(this);
currentsound = new AudioChannel("test.wav");
currentsound.play();

The audio file is in the working directory too, any idea why it won't load?

A:

By working directory do you mean the data sub-directory in the sketch?  Processing reads from 'data/' in the Sketch folder.  Saving takes place in the Sketch folder itself.
Try this:
 currentsound = new AudioChannel("../test.wav");
