Detailed Description

Provide read access to sound files.

This class decodes audio samples from a sound file.

It is used internally by higher-level classes such as sf::SoundBuffer and sf::Music, but can also be useful if you want to process or analyze audio files without playing them, or if you want to implement your own version of sf::Music with more specific features.

Usage example:

// Open a sound file
if (!file.openFromFile("music.ogg"))
/* error */;
// Print the sound attributes
std::cout << "duration: " << file.getDuration().asSeconds() << std::endl;
std::cout << "channels: " << file.getChannelCount() << std::endl;
std::cout << "sample rate: " << file.getSampleRate() << std::endl;
std::cout << "sample count: " << file.getSampleCount() << std::endl;
// Read and process batches of samples until the end of file is reached
sf::Int16 samples[1024];
sf::Uint64 count;
do
{
count = file.read(samples, 1024);
// process, analyze, play, convert, or whatever
// you want to do with the samples...
}
while (count > 0);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

sf::InputSoundFile::InputSoundFile ( )

Default constructor.

sf::InputSoundFile::~InputSoundFile ( )

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

unsigned int sf::InputSoundFile::getChannelCount ( ) const

Get the number of channels used by the sound.

Returns
Number of channels (1 = mono, 2 = stereo)
Time sf::InputSoundFile::getDuration ( ) const

Get the total duration of the sound file.

This function is provided for convenience, the duration is deduced from the other sound file attributes.

Returns
Duration of the sound file
Uint64 sf::InputSoundFile::getSampleCount ( ) const

Get the total number of audio samples in the file.

Returns
Number of samples
unsigned int sf::InputSoundFile::getSampleRate ( ) const

Get the sample rate of the sound.

Returns
Sample rate, in samples per second
bool sf::InputSoundFile::openForWriting ( const std::string &  filename,
unsigned int  channelCount,
unsigned int  sampleRate 
)

Open the sound file from the disk for writing.

Parameters
filenamePath of the sound file to write
channelCountNumber of channels in the sound
sampleRateSample rate of the sound
Returns
True if the file was successfully opened
bool sf::InputSoundFile::openFromFile ( const std::string &  filename)

Open a sound file from the disk for reading.

The supported audio formats are: WAV (PCM only), OGG/Vorbis, FLAC. The supported sample sizes for FLAC and WAV are 8, 16, 24 and 32 bit.

Parameters
filenamePath of the sound file to load
Returns
True if the file was successfully opened
bool sf::InputSoundFile::openFromMemory ( const void *  data,
std::size_t  sizeInBytes 
)

Open a sound file in memory for reading.

The supported audio formats are: WAV (PCM only), OGG/Vorbis, FLAC. The supported sample sizes for FLAC and WAV are 8, 16, 24 and 32 bit.

Parameters
dataPointer to the file data in memory
sizeInBytesSize of the data to load, in bytes
Returns
True if the file was successfully opened
bool sf::InputSoundFile::openFromStream ( InputStream stream)

Open a sound file from a custom stream for reading.

The supported audio formats are: WAV (PCM only), OGG/Vorbis, FLAC. The supported sample sizes for FLAC and WAV are 8, 16, 24 and 32 bit.

Parameters
streamSource stream to read from
Returns
True if the file was successfully opened
Uint64 sf::InputSoundFile::read ( Int16 *  samples,
Uint64  maxCount 
)

Read audio samples from the open file.

Parameters
samplesPointer to the sample array to fill
maxCountMaximum number of samples to read
Returns
Number of samples actually read (may be less than maxCount)
void sf::InputSoundFile::seek ( Uint64  sampleOffset)

Change the current read position to the given sample offset.

This function takes a sample offset to provide maximum precision. If you need to jump to a given time, use the other overload.

The sample offset takes the channels into account. Offsets can be calculated like this: sampleNumber * sampleRate * channelCount If the given offset exceeds to total number of samples, this function jumps to the end of the sound file.

Parameters
sampleOffsetIndex of the sample to jump to, relative to the beginning
void sf::InputSoundFile::seek ( Time  timeOffset)

Change the current read position to the given time offset.

Using a time offset is handy but imprecise. If you need an accurate result, consider using the overload which takes a sample offset.

If the given time exceeds to total duration, this function jumps to the end of the sound file.

Parameters
timeOffsetTime to jump to, relative to the beginning
