SDL_HINT_WAVE_RIFF_CHUNK_SIZE

Controls how the size of the RIFF chunk affects the loading of a WAVE file.

Header File

Defined in SDL_hints.h

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_WAVE_RIFF_CHUNK_SIZE   "SDL_WAVE_RIFF_CHUNK_SIZE"

Remarks

The size of the RIFF chunk (which includes all the sub-chunks of the WAVE file) is not always reliable. In case the size is wrong, it's possible to just ignore it and step through the chunks until a fixed limit is reached.

Note that files that have trailing data unrelated to the WAVE file or corrupt files may slow down the loading process without a reliable boundary. By default, SDL stops after 10000 chunks to prevent wasting time. Use the environment variable SDL_WAVE_CHUNK_LIMIT to adjust this value.

This variable can be set to the following values:


CategoryAPI, CategoryAPIMacro, CategoryHints
