SDL Audio Device IDs.

A successful call to SDL_OpenAudio() is always device id 1, and legacy SDL audio APIs assume you want this device ID. SDL_OpenAudioDevice() calls always returns devices >= 2 on success. The legacy calls are good both for backwards compatibility and when you don't care about multiple, specific, or capture devices.

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_BuildAudioCVT ( SDL_AudioCVT cvt,
SDL_AudioFormat  src_format,
Uint8  src_channels,
int  src_rate,
SDL_AudioFormat  dst_format,
Uint8  dst_channels,
int  dst_rate 
)

This function takes a source format and rate and a destination format and rate, and initializes the cvt structure with information needed by SDL_ConvertAudio() to convert a buffer of audio data from one format to the other.

Returns
-1 if the format conversion is not supported, 0 if there's no conversion needed, or 1 if the audio filter is set up.

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_ConvertAudio ( SDL_AudioCVT cvt)

Once you have initialized the cvt structure using SDL_BuildAudioCVT(), created an audio buffer cvt->buf, and filled it with cvt->len bytes of audio data in the source format, this function will convert it in-place to the desired format.

The data conversion may expand the size of the audio data, so the buffer cvt->buf should be allocated after the cvt structure is initialized by SDL_BuildAudioCVT(), and should be cvt->len*cvt->len_mult bytes long.

The values returned by this function reflect the latest call to SDL_GetNumAudioDevices(); recall that function to redetect available hardware.

The string returned by this function is UTF-8 encoded, read-only, and managed internally. You are not to free it. If you need to keep the string for any length of time, you should make your own copy of it, as it will be invalid next time any of several other SDL functions is called.

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GetNumAudioDevices ( int  iscapture)

Get the number of available devices exposed by the current driver. Only valid after a successfully initializing the audio subsystem. Returns -1 if an explicit list of devices can't be determined; this is not an error. For example, if SDL is set up to talk to a remote audio server, it can't list every one available on the Internet, but it will still allow a specific host to be specified to SDL_OpenAudioDevice().

In many common cases, when this function returns a value <= 0, it can still successfully open the default device (NULL for first argument of SDL_OpenAudioDevice()).

DECLSPEC SDL_AudioSpec* SDLCALL SDL_LoadWAV_RW ( SDL_RWops src,
int  freesrc,

Uint8 **  audio_buf,

This function loads a WAVE from the data source, automatically freeing that source if freesrc is non-zero. For example, to load a WAVE file, you could do:

* SDL_LoadWAV_RW(SDL_RWFromFile("sample.wav", "rb"), 1, ...);
*

If this function succeeds, it returns the given SDL_AudioSpec, filled with the audio data format of the wave data, and sets *audio_buf to a malloc()'d buffer containing the audio data, and sets *audio_len to the length of that audio buffer, in bytes. You need to free the audio buffer with SDL_FreeWAV() when you are done with it.

This function returns NULL and sets the SDL error message if the wave file cannot be opened, uses an unknown data format, or is corrupt. Currently raw and MS-ADPCM WAVE files are supported.

DECLSPEC void SDLCALL SDL_MixAudio ( Uint8 dst,

This takes two audio buffers of the playing audio format and mixes them, performing addition, volume adjustment, and overflow clipping. The volume ranges from 0 - 128, and should be set to SDL_MIX_MAXVOLUME for full audio volume. Note this does not change hardware volume. This is provided for convenience – you can mix your own audio data.

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_OpenAudio ( SDL_AudioSpec desired,
SDL_AudioSpec obtained 
)

This function opens the audio device with the desired parameters, and returns 0 if successful, placing the actual hardware parameters in the structure pointed to by obtained. If obtained is NULL, the audio data passed to the callback function will be guaranteed to be in the requested format, and will be automatically converted to the hardware audio format if necessary. This function returns -1 if it failed to open the audio device, or couldn't set up the audio thread.

When filling in the desired audio spec structure,

  • desired->freq should be the desired audio frequency in samples-per- second.
  • desired->format should be the desired audio format.
  • desired->samples is the desired size of the audio buffer, in samples. This number should be a power of two, and may be adjusted by the audio driver to a value more suitable for the hardware. Good values seem to range between 512 and 8096 inclusive, depending on the application and CPU speed. Smaller values yield faster response time, but can lead to underflow if the application is doing heavy processing and cannot fill the audio buffer in time. A stereo sample consists of both right and left channels in LR ordering. Note that the number of samples is directly related to time by the following formula:
    ms = (samples*1000)/freq
  • desired->size is the size in bytes of the audio buffer, and is calculated by SDL_OpenAudio().
  • desired->silence is the value used to set the buffer to silence, and is calculated by SDL_OpenAudio().
  • desired->callback should be set to a function that will be called when the audio device is ready for more data. It is passed a pointer to the audio buffer, and the length in bytes of the audio buffer. This function usually runs in a separate thread, and so you should protect data structures that it accesses by calling SDL_LockAudio() and SDL_UnlockAudio() in your code.
  • desired->userdata is passed as the first parameter to your callback function.

The audio device starts out playing silence when it's opened, and should be enabled for playing by calling SDL_PauseAudio(0) when you are ready for your audio callback function to be called. Since the audio driver may modify the requested size of the audio buffer, you should allocate any local mixing buffers after you open the audio device.

DECLSPEC SDL_AudioDeviceID SDLCALL SDL_OpenAudioDevice ( const char *  device,
int  iscapture,
const SDL_AudioSpec desired,
SDL_AudioSpec obtained,
int  allowed_changes 
)

Open a specific audio device. Passing in a device name of NULL requests the most reasonable default (and is equivalent to calling SDL_OpenAudio()).

The device name is a UTF-8 string reported by SDL_GetAudioDeviceName(), but some drivers allow arbitrary and driver-specific strings, such as a hostname/IP address for a remote audio server, or a filename in the diskaudio driver.

Returns
0 on error, a valid device ID that is >= 2 on success.

SDL_OpenAudio(), unlike this function, always acts on device ID 1.
