11 \fBSDL_ConvertAudio\fP takes one parameter, \fBcvt\fR, which was previously initilized\&. Initilizing a \fI\fBSDL_AudioCVT\fR\fR is a two step process\&. First of all, the structure must be passed to \fI\fBSDL_BuildAudioCVT\fP\fR along with source and destination format parameters\&. Secondly, the \fBcvt\fR->\fBbuf\fR and \fBcvt\fR->\fBlen\fR fields must be setup\&. \fBcvt\fR->\fBbuf\fR should point to the audio data and \fBcvt\fR->\fBlen\fR should be set to the length of the audio data in bytes\&. Remember, the length of the buffer pointed to by \fBbuf\fR show be \fBlen\fR*\fBlen_mult\fR bytes in length\&.
13 Once the \fBSDL_AudioCVT\fRstructure is initilized then we can pass it to \fBSDL_ConvertAudio\fP, which will convert the audio data pointer to by \fBcvt\fR->\fBbuf\fR\&. If \fBSDL_ConvertAudio\fP returned \fB0\fR then the conversion was completed successfully, otherwise \fB-1\fR is returned\&.
15 If the conversion completed successfully then the converted audio data can be read from \fBcvt\fR->\fBbuf\fR\&. The amount of valid, converted, audio data in the buffer is equal to \fBcvt\fR->\fBlen\fR*\fBcvt\fR->\fBlen_ratio\fR\&.
