SDL_MixAudio

This function is a legacy means of mixing audio. New programs might want to use SDL_MixAudioFormat() instead.

Syntax

void SDL_MixAudio(Uint8*       dst, 
                  const Uint8* src,
                  Uint32       len, 
                  int          volume)

Function Parameters

dst

the destination for the mixed audio

src

the source audio buffer to be mixed

len

defines the length of the audio buffer in bytes

volume

ranges from 0 - 128, and should be set to SDL_MIX_MAXVOLUME for full audio volume

Code Examples

static Uint8 *audio_chunk;
static Uint32 audio_len;
static Uint8 *audio_pos;

/* The audio function callback takes the following parameters:
   stream:  A pointer to the audio buffer to be filled
   len:     The length (in bytes) of the audio buffer
*/
void fill_audio(void *udata, Uint8 *stream, int len)
{
/* Only play if we have data left */
    if ( audio_len == 0 )
        return;

/* Empty any old data in the buffer */
    SDL_memset(stream, 0, len);

/* Mix as much data as possible */
    len = ( len > audio_len ? audio_len : len );
    SDL_MixAudio(stream, audio_pos, len, SDL_MIX_MAXVOLUME);
    audio_pos += len;
    audio_len -= len;
}

/* Load the audio data ... */

;;;;;

audio_pos = audio_chunk;

/* Let the callback function play the audio chunk */
SDL_PauseAudio(0);

/* Do some processing */

;;;;;

/* Wait for sound to complete */
while ( audio_len > 0 ) {
    SDL_Delay(100);         /* Sleep 1/10 second */
}
SDL_CloseAudio();

Remarks

This function is equivalent to calling

SDL_MixAudioFormat(dst, src, format, len, volume);

where format is the obtained format of the audio device from the legacy SDL_OpenAudio() function.
