Inheritance diagram for iSoundHandle:
Public Methods | |
virtual bool | IsStatic ()=0 |
is this a static or streamed handle? | |
virtual iSoundSource* | Play (bool Loop=false)=0 |
play an instance of this sound For Loop == true it returns a iSoundSource you have to Stop () if you want to get rid of the looping sound (also if you want to unload your SoundRenderer) If Loop is false NULL is returned. | |
virtual iSoundSource* | CreateSource (int Mode3d)=0 |
create a sound source. | |
virtual void | StartStream (bool Loop)=0 |
Start playing the stream (only for streamed sound). | |
virtual void | StopStream ()=0 |
Stop playing the stream (only for streamed sound). | |
virtual void | ResetStream ()=0 |
Reset the stream to the beginning (only for streamed sound). |
It can be used to create instances of the sound, the sound sources (the Play() method is only a convenience method to create and play a sound source).
Sounds can be either static or streamed, depending on the sound data the handle is created from. There is a basic difference between these two modes how they are used: You can create any number of totally independent sound sources from a static sound, but not from a streamed sound. All sources that are created from the same streamed sound *always* play the same sequence of samples, if they play sound at all. So the Play() and Stop() methods of a streamed sound source only set the source to active or quiet mode, but they don't control the position that is currently played. Instead this position is controlled with the sound handle interface.
