nCine::AsndAudioDevice class

Wii/GameCube implementation of IAudioDevice on top of libogc's ASND.

devkitPro ships no OpenAL for these consoles, so this drives ASND instead: the DSP mixes up to 16 voices at 48 kHz, resampling and applying a per-channel volume for each of them, and the samples are read straight out of main memory by DMA.

Two things the OpenAL backend gets for free have to be done here:

  • ASND has no notion of a listener or of source positions, so setSourcePosition() keeps the position and the mix turns it into an attenuation and a stereo panning that are folded into the per-voice volume (see applyVolume()).
  • ASND holds at most two buffers per voice (the one playing plus one queued), while the streaming players expect an OpenAL-style queue they can push to and reclaim from. The queue is therefore kept here and fed into the voice a buffer at a time by pump(), which runs once per frame from updatePlayers().

There is no low-pass filter on the DSP, so setSourceLowPass() does nothing and sounds are not muffled underwater.

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 registerPlayer(IAudioPlayer* player) -> std::uint32_t override
Registers a player so it receives state and buffer queue updates, returning its source id.
void updatePlayers() override
Updates the state of every registered player, including the buffer queue of stream players.
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.
