(This function is part of SDL_mixer, a separate library from SDL.)

MIX_GetNumAudioDecoders

Report the number of audio decoders available for use.

Header File

Syntax

int MIX_GetNumAudioDecoders(void);

Return Value

(int) Returns the number of decoders available.

Remarks

An audio decoder is what turns specific audio file formats into usable PCM data. For example, there might be an MP3 decoder, or a WAV decoder, etc. SDL_mixer probably has several decoders built in.

The return value can be used to call MIX_GetAudioDecoder() in a loop.

The number of decoders available is decided during MIX_Init() and does not change until the library is deinitialized.

Thread Safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

Version

This function is available since SDL_mixer 3.0.0.
