Date: Sun, 29 Feb 2004 15:14:22 +0200 From: Martin_Storsj Subject: Dynamic loading of ALSA I recently discovered that SDL can dynamically load ESD and aRts, and made a patch which adds this same functionality to ALSA. The update for configure.in isn't too good (it should e.g. look for libasound.so in other directories than /usr/lib), because I'm not too good at shellscripting and autoconf. The reason for using dlfcn.h and dlopen instead of SDL_LoadLibrary and SDL_LoadFunction is that libasound uses versioned symbols, and it is necessary to load the correct version using dlvsym. This isn't probably any real portability issue, because ALSA is linux-only.

SDL_ConvertSurface\- Converts a surface to the same format as another surface\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL/SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSDL_Surface *\fBSDL_ConvertSurface\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *src, SDL_PixelFormat *fmt, Uint32 flags\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Creates a new surface of the specified format, and then copies and maps the given surface to it\&. If this function fails, it returns \fBNULL\fP\&.
.PP
The \fBflags\fR parameter is passed to \fI\fBSDL_CreateRGBSurface\fP\fR and has those semantics\&.
.PP
This function is used internally by \fI\fBSDL_DisplayFormat\fP\fR\&.
.PP
This function can only be called after SDL_Init\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns either a pointer to the new surface, or \fBNULL\fP on error\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
