Use this function to return the number of built in audio devices.
Contents
Syntax
int SDL_GetNumAudioDevices (int iscapture)
Function Parameters
iscapture |
non-0 to specify a device that has recording capability |
Return Value
The number of built in audio drivers.
Code Examples
int i, count = SDL_GetNumAudioDevices(0);
for ( i = 0; i < count; ++i ) {
printf("Audio device %d: %s\n", i, SDL_GetAudioDeviceName(i, 0);
}
Remarks
This function is only valid after 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()).
