API Sound.QueueEx

	QueueEx
Queues a sound for playing, with the format provided
- HANDLE	Sounds
The handle of the sound object to queue to
- BYTE[]	Data
The array to play data from
- ULONG	ByteOffset
The byte-offset in the array to start at
- UINT	SampleFormat
Format of the samples
- ULONG	Elements
The number of sample elements to play
- FLOAT	RateMul
A multiplier to the sounds sample rate
- BOOL	Return

Detailed description

This adds a sound to the queue to be played when the currently playing sound completes. If no sound is currently playing this will play immediately.

The Elements is a maximum, and will be bounded to the size of the input Array if too large. This means passing -1 (unsigned) is the equivalent of 'the full array'. The relevant contents of the Array are copied so the contents may be altered immediately after this call.

The format of each sample in Array is explicitly declared, so the data may be read from a file and its format decided dynamically.

Floating point samples are assumed to be in the range 0 to 1. All integer values have their sign and bit size considered and are in a range from the minimum to the maximum of their type.

RateMul can be used to adjust the sample rate for the sound in software. Linear interpolation is used to scale the input Array by this factor. This means to play at half the sample rate (so the sound plays twice as slow) set RateMul=0.5.

Examples

Calling in a calculation

• Declare a variable 'result' of type BOOL
• Add to a calculation icon:

  result = ::Sound.QueueEx(sounds, _arraydata, byteoffset, ::Sound.Fmt_Signed8, elements, ratemul)
