[Gambas-user] Managing soundtracks, WAVs

[Dimitris Anogiatis]

Hey Rolf,

This is what I got from the gambasdoc website for the gb.sdl.sound section
------------------------------------------------------------------
 NEW Sound (gb.sdl.sound)
*Syntax*

DIM hSound AS Sound <http://www.gambasdoc.org/help/comp/gb.sdl.sound/sound>

hSound = NEW Sound
<http://www.gambasdoc.org/help/comp/gb.sdl.sound/sound> ( *File* AS
String )

 Creates a new sound from a WAV file.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Now gb.sdl.sound has what it calls channels... it's how you can play sound
effects
in games (in WAV format). You can load WAVs and play them at the same time
OR at a specific time moment depending on your application).
 This is how you can play a sound in a channel
------------------------------------------------------------------
Channel.Play (gb.sdl.sound)
*Syntax*

SUB *Play* ( *[* *Sound* AS Sound
<http://www.gambasdoc.org/help/comp/gb.sdl.sound/sound>, *Loops* AS
Integer *]* )

 Plays the specified Sound on the channel.

With the *Loops* parameter, you can specify how many times the sound will be
played.

If *Loops* is -1, then the sound is played forever.

By default, the sound is played once.
------------------------------------------------------------------

if you want to play MP3s or OGGs
then you use the music object that's available in gb.sdl.sound
I don't know if it's gb.sdl.sound that doesn't allow channels to play mp3 or
m4a or other files
in channels or SDL itself... (it would be awesome if we could do that then
mixing music would
be a breeze.

I would also check the music player example in the sound section of the
gambas examples
as it does use gb.sdl.sound

Hope this helps

Regards
Dimitris
