#include <nnsys/snd.h>BOOL NNS_SndArcStrmStart( NNSSndStrmHandle* handle, int strmNo, u32 offset );
handle |
Pointer to a stream handle |
strmNo |
This is the stream number |
offset |
This is the starting offset position It is in msec |
This function plays a stream. Use the NNS_SndArcStrmPrepareEx function or the NNS_SndArcStrmPrepareEx2 function to specify the player number.
The sound archive stream library must be initialized in advance using the NNS_SndArcStrmInit function.
The stream handle handle needs to be initialized only once in advance using the NNS_SndStrmHandleInit function. Calling this function releases the stream already attached to the stream handle (this does not mean it is stopped). If playback succeeds, the stream is attached to the stream handle.
If a non-zero value is set for the start offset position offset, it is possible to play from the middle of the stream data.
Prior to stream playback, the starting data needs to be loaded into the stream buffer so the beginning of the actual sound production is delayed a few frames. If you want to start playback immediately, the data load to the stream buffer needs to be completed in advance. The NNS_SndArcStrmPrepare function is used for this.
The channels used for stream playback are set aside in this function. If the channels set aside were being used by sequence playback, the sound being produced is automatically stopped. To control the timing of the channel set aside the NNS_SndArcStrmAllocChannel function needs to be called in advance.
If the stream data is in stereo, channel 0 is output from the left and channel 1 from the right. These settings can be changed with the NNS_SndArcStrmSetChannelPan function.
Playback failure may be the result of the following factors:
NNS_SndArcStrmPrepareEx, NNS_SndArcStrmPrepareEx2, NNS_SndArcStrmInit, NNS_SndStrmHandleInit, NNS_SndArcStrmPrepare, NNS_SndArcStrmAllocChannel, NNS_SndArcStrmSetChannelPan
