Audio Examples
Opening the audio device
SDL_AudioSpec wanted; extern void fill_audio(void *udata, Uint8 *stream, int len); /* Set the audio format */ wanted.freq = 22050; wanted.format = AUDIO_S16; wanted.channels = 2; /* 1 = mono, 2 = stereo */ wanted.samples = 1024; /* Good low-latency value for callback */ wanted.callback = fill_audio; wanted.userdata = NULL; /* Open the audio device, forcing the desired format */ if ( SDL_OpenAudio(&wanted, NULL) < 0 ) { fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't open audio: %s\n", SDL_GetError()); return(-1); } return(0);
Playing audio
static Uint8 *audio_chunk; static Uint32 audio_len; static Uint8 *audio_pos; /* The audio function callback takes the following parameters: stream: A pointer to the audio buffer to be filled len: The length (in bytes) of the audio buffer */ void fill_audio(void *udata, Uint8 *stream, int len) { /* Only play if we have data left */ if ( audio_len == 0 ) return; /* Mix as much data as possible */ len = ( len > audio_len ? audio_len : len ); SDL_MixAudio(stream, audio_pos, len, SDL_MIX_MAXVOLUME); audio_pos += len; audio_len -= len; } /* Load the audio data ... */ ;;;;; audio_pos = audio_chunk; /* Let the callback function play the audio chunk */ SDL_PauseAudio(0); /* Do some processing */ ;;;;; /* Wait for sound to complete */ while ( audio_len > 0 ) { SDL_Delay(100); /* Sleep 1/10 second */ } SDL_CloseAudio();
