It doesn't *load* audi api --- -### `int mr_init(double sample_rate, int n_channels)` ### +### `mossrose_sound_t` ### -Initialize mossrose with `n_channels` worth of audio, at `sample_rate` Hz. Returns 0 on success and 1 otherwise. +This structure encompasses loaded sounds in mossrose. It has the following attributes: + * `float *left` - pointer to the left audio channel, or the mono channel for mono sounds. + * `float *right` - pointer to the right audio channel, or NULL for mono sounds. + * `bool mono` - `true` if the sound is mono, `false` if it is stereo. + * `size_t len` - the number of samples in each channel. -### `int mr_terminate()` ### + +### `int mossrose_init(double sample_rate, int n_channels, bool init_plibsys)` ### + +Initialize mossrose. + + * `sample_rate` - samples per second to open the audio device with. Make sure your audio files use the same sample rate! + * `n_channels` - the maximum number of sounds that can be played simultaneously. + * `init_plibsys` - `true` if mossrose should initialize plibsys. Set to `false` only if you are using plibsys elsewhere and initializing it separately. + +Returns 0 on success and an error code otherwise. + + +### `int mossrose_terminate()` ### Terminate mossrose. -### `int mr_play(float *left, float *right, size_t n_samples, int channel)` ### +### `int mossrose_play(struct mossrose_sound_t *sound, int channel)` ### + +Play a sound. + + * `sound` - pointer to a `struct mossrose_sound_t` struct containing the audio data. + * `channel` - optionally request a specific channel to play the sound on. If `channel` is negative, the first available channel will be used; otherwise, the specified channel will be used. + +On a successful call, the audio data will be copied into the channel and so any user-allocated buffers can be freed. + +When no specific channel is selected, default volume (1.0) and panning (left: -1.0, right: 1.0) are used to play the sound. If a specific channel is requested, that channel's pre-set volume and panning are used instead. Pause, however, is always false. + +If no channel was specified and no channels are currently available to play, the call will fail. + +Returns the index of the channel used to play the sound on success, or a negative value on failure. + + +### `void mossrose_channel_set_volume(int channel, float volume)` ### + +Set the volume of a channel. + + * `channel` - the index of the channel, usually as returned by `mossrose_play`. + * `volume` - a value between 0 and 1. Values outside this range are clamped to [0,1]. + + +### `void mossrose_channel_set_pan(int channel, float left, float right)` ### + +Set the panning of a channel. + + * `channel` - the index of the channel. + * `left` - panning for the left channel, or, for mono channels, the pan. + * `right` - panning for the right channel. Ignored for mono channels. + +Pan values must be in the range [-1,1] and values outside this range are clamped to it. -1 represents full left, 0 is center, and 1 is full right. + +mossrose uses trigonometric constant-power panning. + + +### `void mossrose_channel_pause(int channel)` ### + +Pause a channel. + + * `channel` - the index of the channel. + +This function has no effect if the channel is already paused. + + +### `void mossrose_channel_resume(int channel)` ### + +Resume a channel. + + * `channel` - the index of the channel. -Play a sound. Either `left` or `right` may be NULL, but not both. If `channel` is non-negative, -it will use that channel; otherwise, it will use the first available free channel. Returns the -channel used on success, or -1 on failure. +This function has no effect if the channel is already playing. |
