Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2003 18:21:33 -0230 From: Stephen Anthony <stephena@roadrunner.nf.net> Subject: [SDL] First patch concerning 4.3 and refresh rates OK, here's my first draft of the patch for the above subject. A short explanation: X 4.3 introduces many more modelines than older versions. This would be fine, except it introduces many modes with the *same* resolution but different refresh rates. And SDL won't necessarily pick the one with the highest refresh rate. So this patch restores SDL to X 4.2 functionality. That is, there is only ever one refresh rate *per* resolution, and it is the highest possible. This functionality can be totally disabled by using the environment variable 'SDL_VIDEO_X11_USE_ALL_MODES' set equal to 1.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_MixAudio\- Mix audio data
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBvoid \fBSDL_MixAudio\fP\fR(\fBUint8 *dst, Uint8 *src, Uint32 len, int volume\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function takes two audio buffers of \fBlen\fR bytes each of the playing audio format and mixes them, performing addition, volume adjustment, and overflow clipping\&. The \fBvolume\fR ranges from 0 to \fBSDL_MIX_MAXVOLUME\fP and should be set to the maximum value for full audio volume\&. Note this does not change hardware volume\&. This is provided for convenience -- you can mix your own audio data\&.
.PP
.RS
\fBNote:  
.PP
Do not use this function for mixing together more than two streams of sample data\&. The output from repeated application of this function may be distorted by clipping, because there is no accumulator with greater range than the input (not to mention this being an inefficient way of doing it)\&. Use mixing functions from SDL_mixer, OpenAL, or write your own mixer instead\&.
