Date: 10 Jun 2003 15:30:59 -0400 From: Mike Shal Subject: [SDL] Bug in SDL_wave.c? Hey everyone, I'm not sure if this is a bug in SDL, or if I just have incorrect WAV files. The problem I'm having is loading multiple concatenated WAVs from SDL_LoadWAV_RW. Some WAV files put comments at the end of the file (which may be bad form), and SDL doesn't skip past them when reading from the RWops. So the next WAV I try to load will start at the comment section of the previous WAV, which obviously doesn't work. If anyone else is having this problem, one quick fix you can do is run sox on the bad WAVs, which strips out all of the comment sections. Eg: $ sox sound.wav tmp.wav $ mv -f tmp.wav sound.wav The other fix is to patch SDL_wave.c, which is included with this email. (Assuming I made the patch correctly :). All it does is calculate how much remaining space there is in the WAV file after the data chunk, and does SDL_RWseek to skip it. I don't think it should interfere with anything else, but if someone could check it that would be nice :). If the bug is really with SDL and not with my WAVs, can someone work this into the next version of SDL? Thanks, -Mike Shal

.TH "SDL_BuildAudioCVT" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 22:58" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_BuildAudioCVT\- Initializes a SDL_AudioCVT structure for conversion
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_BuildAudioCVT\fP\fR(\fBSDL_AudioCVT *cvt, Uint16 src_format, Uint8 src_channels, int src_rate, Uint16 dst_format, Uint8 dst_channels, int dst_rate\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Before an \fI\fBSDL_AudioCVT\fR\fR structure can be used to convert audio data it must be initialized with source and destination information\&. 
.PP
\fBsrc_format\fR and \fBdst_format\fR are the source and destination format of the conversion\&. (For information on audio formats see \fI\fB SDL_AudioSpec\fR\fR)\&. \fBsrc_channels\fR and \fBdst_channels\fR are the number of channels in the source and destination formats\&. Finally, \fBsrc_rate\fR and \fBdst_rate\fR are the frequency or samples-per-second of the source and destination formats\&. Once again, see \fI\fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.PP
Returns \fB-1\fR if the filter could not be built or 1 if it could\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
See \fI\fBSDL_ConvertAudio\fP\fR\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
