Now it offers the total requested bytes in addition to the amount
immediately needed (and immediately needed might be zero if the stream
already has enough queued to satisfy the request.
You can see it in action in testaudio by mousing over a logical device; it
will show a visualizer for the current PCM (whatever is currently being
recorded on a capture device, or whatever is being mixed for output on
playback devices).
Fixes#8122.
This is meant to offer a simplified API for people that are either migrating
directly from SDL2 with minimal effort or just want to make noise without
any of the fancy new API features.
Users of this API can just deal with a single SDL_AudioStream as their only
object/handle into the audio subsystem.
They are still allowed to open multiple devices (or open the same device
multiple times), but cannot change stream bindings on logical devices opened
through this function.
Destroying the single audio stream will also close the logical device behind
the scenes.
Now you open an audio device and attach streams, as planned, but each
open generates a new logical device. Each logical device has its own
streams that are managed as a group, but all streams on all logical
devices are mixed into a single buffer for a single OS-level open of
the physical device.
This allows multiple opens of a device that won't interfere with each
other and also clean up just what the opener assigned to their logical
device, so all their streams will go away on close but other opens will
continue to mix as they were.
More or less, this makes things work as expected at the app level, but
also gives them the power to group audio streams, and (once added) pause
them all at once, etc.
- SDL_AudioCVT is gone, even internally.
- libsamplerate is gone (I suspect our resampler is finally Good Enough).
- Cleanups and improvements to audio conversion interfaces.
- SDL_AudioStream can change its input/output format/rate/channels on the fly!
This takes care of the last set of void functions that could
potentially be shifted to instead return an int indicating success and
setting an error in case of an error.
