23 * # CategoryAudio
24 *
25 * Audio functionality for the SDL library.
26 *
27 * All audio in SDL3 revolves around SDL_AudioStream. Whether you want to play
28 * or record audio, convert it, stream it, buffer it, or mix it, you're going
29 * to be passing it through an audio stream.
30 *
31 * Audio streams are quite flexible; they can accept any amount of data at a
32 * time, in any supported format, and output it as needed in any other format,
33 * even if the data format changes on either side halfway through.
34 *
35 * An app opens an audio device and binds any number of audio streams to it,
36 * feeding more data to the streams as available. When the device needs more
37 * data, it will pull it from all bound streams and mix them together for
38 * playback.
39 *
40 * Audio streams can also use an app-provided callback to supply data
41 * on-demand, which maps pretty closely to the SDL2 audio model.
42 *
43 * SDL also provides a simple .WAV loader in SDL_LoadWAV (and SDL_LoadWAV_IO
44 * if you aren't reading from a file) as a basic means to load sound data into
45 * your program.
46 *
47 * ## Logical audio devices
48 *
49 * In SDL3, opening a physical device (like a SoundBlaster 16 Pro) gives you a
50 * logical device ID that you can bind audio streams to. In almost all cases,
51 * logical devices can be used anywhere in the API that a physical device is
52 * normally used. However, since each device opening generates a new logical
53 * device, different parts of the program (say, a VoIP library, or
54 * text-to-speech framework, or maybe some other sort of mixer on top of SDL)
55 * can have their own device opens that do not interfere with each other; each
56 * logical device will mix its separate audio down to a single buffer, fed to
57 * the physical device, behind the scenes. As many logical devices as you like
58 * can come and go; SDL will only have to open the physical device at the OS
59 * level once, and will manage all the logical devices on top of it
60 * internally.
61 *
62 * One other benefit of logical devices: if you don't open a specific physical
63 * device, instead opting for the default, SDL can automatically migrate those
64 * logical devices to different hardware as circumstances change: a user
65 * plugged in headphones? The system default changed? SDL can transparently
66 * migrate the logical devices to the correct physical device seamlessly and
67 * keep playing; the app doesn't even have to know it happened if it doesn't
68 * want to.
69 *
70 * ## Simplified audio
71 *
72 * As a simplified model for when a single source of audio is all that's
73 * needed, an app can use SDL_OpenAudioDeviceStream, which is a single
74 * function to open an audio device, create an audio stream, bind that stream
75 * to the newly-opened device, and (optionally) provide a callback for
76 * obtaining audio data. When using this function, the primary interface is
77 * the SDL_AudioStream and the device handle is mostly hidden away; destroying
78 * a stream created through this function will also close the device, stream
79 * bindings cannot be changed, etc. One other quirk of this is that the device
80 * is started in a _paused_ state and must be explicitly resumed; this is
81 * partially to offer a clean migration for SDL2 apps and partially because
82 * the app might have to do more setup before playback begins; in the
83 * non-simplified form, nothing will play until a stream is bound to a device,
84 * so they start _unpaused_.
85 *
86 * ## Channel layouts
87 *
88 * Audio data passing through SDL is uncompressed PCM data, interleaved. One
89 * can provide their own decompression through an MP3, etc, decoder, but SDL
90 * does not provide this directly. Each interleaved channel of data is meant
91 * to be in a specific order.
92 *
93 * Abbreviations:
94 *
95 * - FRONT = single mono speaker
96 * - FL = front left speaker
97 * - FR = front right speaker
98 * - FC = front center speaker
99 * - BL = back left speaker
100 * - BR = back right speaker
101 * - SR = surround right speaker
102 * - SL = surround left speaker
103 * - BC = back center speaker
104 * - LFE = low-frequency speaker
105 *
106 * These are listed in the order they are laid out in memory, so "FL, FR"
107 * means "the front left speaker is laid out in memory first, then the front
108 * right, then it repeats for the next audio frame".
109 *
110 * - 1 channel (mono) layout: FRONT
111 * - 2 channels (stereo) layout: FL, FR
112 * - 3 channels (2.1) layout: FL, FR, LFE
113 * - 4 channels (quad) layout: FL, FR, BL, BR
114 * - 5 channels (4.1) layout: FL, FR, LFE, BL, BR
115 * - 6 channels (5.1) layout: FL, FR, FC, LFE, BL, BR (last two can also be
116 * SL, SR)
117 * - 7 channels (6.1) layout: FL, FR, FC, LFE, BC, SL, SR
118 * - 8 channels (7.1) layout: FL, FR, FC, LFE, BL, BR, SL, SR
119 *
120 * This is the same order as DirectSound expects, but applied to all
121 * platforms; SDL will swizzle the channels as necessary if a platform expects
122 * something different.
123 *
124 * SDL_AudioStream can also be provided channel maps to change this ordering
125 * to whatever is necessary, in other audio processing scenarios.

713 * Open a specific audio device.
714 *
715 * You can open both playback and recording devices through this function.
716 * Playback devices will take data from bound audio streams, mix it, and send
717 * it to the hardware. Recording devices will feed any bound audio streams
718 * with a copy of any incoming data.
719 *
720 * An opened audio device starts out with no audio streams bound. To start
721 * audio playing, bind a stream and supply audio data to it. Unlike SDL2,
722 * there is no audio callback; you only bind audio streams and make sure they
723 * have data flowing into them (however, you can simulate SDL2's semantics
724 * fairly closely by using SDL_OpenAudioDeviceStream instead of this
725 * function).
726 *
727 * If you don't care about opening a specific device, pass a `devid` of either
728 * `SDL_AUDIO_DEVICE_DEFAULT_PLAYBACK` or
729 * `SDL_AUDIO_DEVICE_DEFAULT_RECORDING`. In this case, SDL will try to pick
730 * the most reasonable default, and may also switch between physical devices
731 * seamlessly later, if the most reasonable default changes during the
732 * lifetime of this opened device (user changed the default in the OS's system
733 * preferences, the default got unplugged so the system jumped to a new
734 * default, the user plugged in headphones on a mobile device, etc). Unless
735 * you have a good reason to choose a specific device, this is probably what
736 * you want.
737 *
738 * You may request a specific format for the audio device, but there is no
739 * promise the device will honor that request for several reasons. As such,
740 * it's only meant to be a hint as to what data your app will provide. Audio
741 * streams will accept data in whatever format you specify and manage
742 * conversion for you as appropriate. SDL_GetAudioDeviceFormat can tell you
743 * the preferred format for the device before opening and the actual format
744 * the device is using after opening.
745 *
746 * It's legal to open the same device ID more than once; each successful open
747 * will generate a new logical SDL_AudioDeviceID that is managed separately
748 * from others on the same physical device. This allows libraries to open a
749 * device separately from the main app and bind its own streams without
750 * conflicting.
751 *
752 * It is also legal to open a device ID returned by a previous call to this
753 * function; doing so just creates another logical device on the same physical
754 * device. This may be useful for making logical groupings of audio streams.
755 *
756 * This function returns the opened device ID on success. This is a new,
757 * unique SDL_AudioDeviceID that represents a logical device.
758 *
759 * Some backends might offer arbitrary devices (for example, a networked audio
760 * protocol that can connect to an arbitrary server). For these, as a change
761 * from SDL2, you should open a default device ID and use an SDL hint to
762 * specify the target if you care, or otherwise let the backend figure out a
763 * reasonable default. Most backends don't offer anything like this, and often
764 * this would be an end user setting an environment variable for their custom
765 * need, and not something an application should specifically manage.

2064 *
2065 * This is also intended to be a clean means to migrate apps from SDL2.
2066 *
2067 * This function will open an audio device, create a stream and bind it.
2068 * Unlike other methods of setup, the audio device will be closed when this
2069 * stream is destroyed, so the app can treat the returned SDL_AudioStream as
2070 * the only object needed to manage audio playback.
2071 *
2072 * Also unlike other functions, the audio device begins paused. This is to map
2073 * more closely to SDL2-style behavior, since there is no extra step here to
2074 * bind a stream to begin audio flowing. The audio device should be resumed
2075 * with SDL_ResumeAudioStreamDevice().
2076 *
2077 * This function works with both playback and recording devices.
2078 *
2079 * The `spec` parameter represents the app's side of the audio stream. That
2080 * is, for recording audio, this will be the output format, and for playing
2081 * audio, this will be the input format. If spec is NULL, the system will
2082 * choose the format, and the app can use SDL_GetAudioStreamFormat() to obtain
2083 * this information later.
2084 *
2085 * If you don't care about opening a specific audio device, you can (and
2086 * probably _should_), use SDL_AUDIO_DEVICE_DEFAULT_PLAYBACK for playback and
2087 * SDL_AUDIO_DEVICE_DEFAULT_RECORDING for recording.
2088 *
2089 * One can optionally provide a callback function; if NULL, the app is
2090 * expected to queue audio data for playback (or unqueue audio data if
2091 * capturing). Otherwise, the callback will begin to fire once the device is
2092 * unpaused.

2097 * \param devid an audio device to open, or SDL_AUDIO_DEVICE_DEFAULT_PLAYBACK
2098 * or SDL_AUDIO_DEVICE_DEFAULT_RECORDING.
2099 * \param spec the audio stream's data format. Can be NULL.

2214 * Load the audio data of a WAVE file into memory.
2215 *
2216 * Loading a WAVE file requires `src`, `spec`, `audio_buf` and `audio_len` to
2217 * be valid pointers. The entire data portion of the file is then loaded into
2218 * memory and decoded if necessary.
2219 *
2220 * Supported formats are RIFF WAVE files with the formats PCM (8, 16, 24, and
2221 * 32 bits), IEEE Float (32 bits), Microsoft ADPCM and IMA ADPCM (4 bits), and
2222 * A-law and mu-law (8 bits). Other formats are currently unsupported and
2223 * cause an error.
2224 *
2225 * If this function succeeds, the return value is zero and the pointer to the
2226 * audio data allocated by the function is written to `audio_buf` and its
2227 * length in bytes to `audio_len`. The SDL_AudioSpec members `freq`,
2228 * `channels`, and `format` are set to the values of the audio data in the
2229 * buffer.
2230 *
2231 * It's necessary to use SDL_free() to free the audio data returned in
2232 * `audio_buf` when it is no longer used.
2233 *
2234 * Because of the underspecification of the .WAV format, there are many
2235 * problematic files in the wild that cause issues with strict decoders. To
2236 * provide compatibility with these files, this decoder is lenient in regards
2237 * to the truncation of the file, the fact chunk, and the size of the RIFF
2238 * chunk. The hints `SDL_HINT_WAVE_RIFF_CHUNK_SIZE`,
2239 * `SDL_HINT_WAVE_TRUNCATION`, and `SDL_HINT_WAVE_FACT_CHUNK` can be used to
2240 * tune the behavior of the loading process.
2241 *
2242 * Any file that is invalid (due to truncation, corruption, or wrong values in
2243 * the headers), too big, or unsupported causes an error. Additionally, any
2244 * critical I/O error from the data source will terminate the loading process
2245 * with an error. The function returns NULL on error and in all cases (with
2246 * the exception of `src` being NULL), an appropriate error message will be

2255 * ```
2256 *
2257 * Note that the SDL_LoadWAV function does this same thing for you, but in a
2258 * less messy way:
2259 *
2260 * ```c
2261 * SDL_LoadWAV("sample.wav", &spec, &buf, &len);
2262 * ```
2263 *
2264 * \param src the data source for the WAVE data.

2271 * \param audio_len a pointer filled with the length of the audio data buffer
2272 * in bytes.

2274 * allocated buffer containing the audio data, and `audio_len` is
2275 * filled with the length of that audio buffer in bytes.
2276 *
2277 * This function returns false if the .WAV file cannot be opened,
2278 * uses an unknown data format, or is corrupt; call SDL_GetError()
2279 * for more information.
