From: David Hedbor
Subject: Qtopia patches (input grabbing and iconify)
Ok, here's a patch that adds support for SDL_WM_GrabInput (default
state is "ungrabbed") and SDL_WM_IconifyWindow. Also has some other
tweaks such as taking additional steps to clean up when exiting
(bypassing certain bugs in some versions of Qtopia and/or OPIE) and it
also maps Key_F33 to Key_Return (this is the Zaurus 'ok' key).

1 .TH "SDL_OpenAudio" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 22:58" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" |
| 0 | 2 .SH "NAME" |
| 3 SDL_OpenAudio\- Opens the audio device with the desired parameters\&. | |
| 4 .SH "SYNOPSIS" | |
| 5 .PP | |
| 6 \fB#include "SDL\&.h" | |
| 7 .sp | |
| 8 \fBint \fBSDL_OpenAudio\fP\fR(\fBSDL_AudioSpec *desired, SDL_AudioSpec *obtained\fR); | |
| 9 .SH "DESCRIPTION" | |
| 10 .PP | |
| 11 This function opens the audio device with the \fBdesired\fR parameters, and returns 0 if successful, placing the actual hardware parameters in the structure pointed to by \fBobtained\fR\&. If \fBobtained\fR is NULL, the audio data passed to the callback function will be guaranteed to be in the requested format, and will be automatically converted to the hardware audio format if necessary\&. This function returns -1 if it failed to open the audio device, or couldn\&'t set up the audio thread\&. | |
| 12 .PP | |
| 13 To open the audio device a \fBdesired\fR \fI\fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR\fR must be created\&. | |
| 14 .PP | |
| 15 .nf | |
| 16 \f(CWSDL_AudioSpec *desired; | |
| 17 \&. | |
| 18 \&. | |
| 19 desired=(SDL_AudioSpec *)malloc(sizeof(SDL_AudioSpec));\fR | |
| 20 .fi | |
| 21 .PP | |
| 22 You must then fill this structure with your desired audio specifications\&. | |
| 23 .IP "\fBdesired\fR->\fBfreq\fR" 10The desired audio frequency in samples-per-second\&. | |
| 24 .IP "\fBdesired\fR->\fBformat\fR" 10The desired audio format (see \fI\fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR\fR) | |
| 25 .IP "\fBdesired\fR->\fBsamples\fR" 10The desired size of the audio buffer in samples\&. This number should be a power of two, and may be adjusted by the audio driver to a value more suitable for the hardware\&. Good values seem to range between 512 and 8192 inclusive, depending on the application and CPU speed\&. Smaller values yield faster response time, but can lead to underflow if the application is doing heavy processing and cannot fill the audio buffer in time\&. A stereo sample consists of both right and left channels in LR ordering\&. Note that the number of samples is directly related to time by the following formula: ms = (samples*1000)/freq | |
| 26 .IP "\fBdesired\fR->\fBcallback\fR" 10This should be set to a function that will be called when the audio device is ready for more data\&. It is passed a pointer to the audio buffer, and the length in bytes of the audio buffer\&. This function usually runs in a separate thread, and so you should protect data structures that it accesses by calling \fI\fBSDL_LockAudio\fP\fR and \fI\fBSDL_UnlockAudio\fP\fR in your code\&. The callback prototype is: | |
| 27 .PP | |
| 28 .nf | |
| 29 \f(CWvoid callback(void *userdata, Uint8 *stream, int len);\fR | |
| 30 .fi | |
| 31 .PP | |
| 32 \fBuserdata\fR is the pointer stored in \fBuserdata\fR field of the \fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR\&. \fBstream\fR is a pointer to the audio buffer you want to fill with information and \fBlen\fR is the length of the audio buffer in bytes\&. | |
| 33 .IP "\fBdesired\fR->\fBuserdata\fR" 10This pointer is passed as the first parameter to the \fBcallback\fP function\&. | |
| 34 .PP | |
| 35 \fBSDL_OpenAudio\fP reads these fields from the \fBdesired\fR \fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR structure pass to the function and attempts to find an audio configuration matching your \fBdesired\fR\&. As mentioned above, if the \fBobtained\fR parameter is \fBNULL\fP then SDL with convert from your \fBdesired\fR audio settings to the hardware settings as it plays\&. | |
| 36 .PP | |
| 37 If \fBobtained\fR is \fBNULL\fP then the \fBdesired\fR \fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR is your working specification, otherwise the \fBobtained\fR \fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR becomes the working specification and the \fBdesirec\fR specification can be deleted\&. The data in the working specification is used when building \fBSDL_AudioCVT\fR\&'s for converting loaded data to the hardware format\&. | |
| 38 .PP | |
| 39 \fBSDL_OpenAudio\fP calculates the \fBsize\fR and \fBsilence\fR fields for both the \fBdesired\fR and \fBobtained\fR specifications\&. The \fBsize\fR field stores the total size of the audio buffer in bytes, while the \fBsilence\fR stores the value used to represent silence in the audio buffer | |
| 40 .PP | |
| 41 The audio device starts out playing \fBsilence\fR when it\&'s opened, and should be enabled for playing by calling \fI\fBSDL_PauseAudio\fP(\fB0\fR)\fR when you are ready for your audio \fBcallback\fR function to be called\&. Since the audio driver may modify the requested \fBsize\fR of the audio buffer, you should allocate any local mixing buffers after you open the audio device\&. | |
