nCine::ALAudioDevice class

OpenAL implementation of IAudioDevice.

Owns the OpenAL device and context, manages a fixed pool of sources and tracks the active players. On desktop Windows it also listens for default device changes and recreates the device when needed.

Base classes

class AudioDeviceBase
Backend-independent part of an audio device.

Public functions

auto isValid() const -> bool override
Returns true if the device was initialized successfully.
auto name() const -> const char* override
Returns the name of the underlying device.
void setGain(float gain) override
Sets the listener gain (master volume).
void updateListener(const Vector3f& position, const Vector3f& velocity) override
Updates the position and velocity of the listener.
auto nativeFrequency() -> std::int32_t override
Returns the native sample rate of the device.
auto createBuffer(BufferUsage usage) -> std::uint32_t override
Creates an empty backend buffer, returning its id or 0 on failure.
void deleteBuffer(std::uint32_t bufferId) override
Destroys a buffer previously returned by createBuffer().
auto uploadBuffer(std::uint32_t bufferId, BufferFormat format, const void* data, std::int32_t size, std::int32_t frequency) -> bool override
Replaces the contents of a buffer with the specified samples.
void setSourceBuffer(std::uint32_t sourceId, std::uint32_t bufferId) override
Attaches a buffer to a source for non-streamed playback, 0 detaches the current one.
void setSourceGain(std::uint32_t sourceId, float gain) override
Sets the gain of a source.
void setSourcePitch(std::uint32_t sourceId, float pitch) override
Sets the pitch of a source, as a multiplier of its natural playback rate.
void setSourceLooping(std::uint32_t sourceId, bool looping) override
Sets whether a source repeats its attached buffer.
void setSourceRelative(std::uint32_t sourceId, bool relative) override
Sets whether the position of a source is relative to the listener.
void setSourcePosition(std::uint32_t sourceId, const Vector3f& position) override
Sets the position of a source, in physical units.
void setSourceLowPass(std::uint32_t sourceId, float value) override
Sets the low-pass amount of a source, 1.0f disables the filter.
auto sourceSampleOffset(std::uint32_t sourceId) -> std::int32_t override
Returns the playback position of a source in samples.
void setSourceSampleOffset(std::uint32_t sourceId, std::int32_t offset) override
Sets the playback position of a source in samples.
void playSource(std::uint32_t sourceId) override
Starts or resumes a source.
void pauseSource(std::uint32_t sourceId) override
Pauses a source at its current position.
void stopSource(std::uint32_t sourceId) override
Stops a source.
auto isSourcePlaying(std::uint32_t sourceId) -> bool override
Returns true if a source is still producing sound.
void queueBuffer(std::uint32_t sourceId, std::uint32_t bufferId) override
Appends a buffer to the streaming queue of a source.
auto numProcessedBuffers(std::uint32_t sourceId) -> std::int32_t override
Returns the number of queued buffers a source has finished playing.
void unqueueBuffers(std::uint32_t sourceId, std::int32_t count, std::uint32_t* bufferIds) override
Removes the specified number of played buffers from the front of the queue.
void suspendDevice() override
Suspends the audio device.
void resumeDevice() override
Resumes the audio device.
