From: Tyler Montbriand <tsm@accesscomm.ca> To: sdl@libsdl.org Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 02:24:50 -0600 Subject: [SDL] WinCE timers, continued Here's a strange timer for Windows CE that doesn't ignore time across suspends. It uses GetSystemTime to keep the time continuous, and GetTicks to get finer-grained readings than 1 second. It detects the difference between the GetTicks time and GetSystemTime time on power-on to keep the error within one second max. It's not a patch on the current win32 timer code -- took one look at that and figured it had more than enough #ifdefs already. It's windows-ce specific. Another thing I've noticed is that the Windows CE 4.0 and newer API has functions warn processes about suspends. This is something SDL REALLY needs for audio in particular, because turning it off while it's playing causes anything that uses audio to hardlock the system on power-on. Unfortunately I don't have 4.0 to play with. :(

.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\&.
