SDL_HINT_WAVE_TRUNCATION
Controls how a truncated WAVE file is handled.
Defined in SDL_hints.h
Syntax
#define SDL_HINT_WAVE_TRUNCATION "SDL_WAVE_TRUNCATION"
A WAVE file is considered truncated if any of the chunks are incomplete or the data chunk size is not a multiple of the block size. By default, SDL decodes until the first incomplete block, as most applications seem to do.
This variable can be set to the following values:
- "verystrict": Raise an error if the file is truncated
- "strict": Like "verystrict", but the size of the RIFF chunk is ignored
- "dropframe": Decode until the first incomplete sample frame
- "dropblock": Decode until the first incomplete block (default)
