BASS

BASS_ChannelGetPosition


Retrieves the playback position of a sample, stream, or MOD music. Can also be used with a recording channel.

QWORD BASS_ChannelGetPosition(
    DWORD handle,
    DWORD mode
);

Parameters

handleThe channel handle... a HCHANNEL, HMUSIC, HSTREAM, or HRECORD.
modeHow to retrieve the position. One of the following, with optional flags.
BASS_POS_BYTEGet the position in bytes.
BASS_POS_MUSIC_ORDERGet the position in orders and rows... LOWORD = order, HIWORD = row * scaler (BASS_ATTRIB_MUSIC_PSCALER). (HMUSIC only)
BASS_POS_DECODEFlag: Get the decoding/rendering position, which may be ahead of the playback position due to buffering. This flag is unnecessary with decoding channels because the decoding position will always be given for them anyway, as they do not have playback buffers.
other modes & flags may be supported by add-ons, see the documentation.

Return value

If successful, then the channel's position is returned, else -1 is returned. Use BASS_ErrorGetCode to get the error code.
