-.SH "NAME"
-SDL_OpenAudio \- Opens the audio device with the desired parameters\&.
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.PP
-\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
-.sp
-\fBint \fBSDL_OpenAudio\fP\fR(\fBSDL_AudioSpec *desired, SDL_AudioSpec *obtained\fR);
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-This function opens the audio device with the \fBdesired\fR parameters, and returns 0 if successful, placing the actual hardware parameters in the structure pointed to by \fBobtained\fR\&. If \fBobtained\fR is NULL, the audio data passed to the callback function will be guaranteed to be in the requested format, and will be automatically converted to the hardware audio format if necessary\&. This function returns -1 if it failed to open the audio device, or couldn\&'t set up the audio thread\&.
-.PP
-To open the audio device a \fBdesired\fR \fI\fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR\fR must be created\&.
-.PP
-.nf
-\f(CWSDL_AudioSpec *desired;
-\&.
-\&.
-desired=(SDL_AudioSpec *)malloc(sizeof(SDL_AudioSpec));\fR
-.fi
-.PP
- You must then fill this structure with your desired audio specifications\&.
-.IP "\fBdesired\fR->\fBfreq\fR" 10The desired audio frequency in samples-per-second\&.
-.IP "\fBdesired\fR->\fBformat\fR" 10The desired audio format (see \fI\fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR\fR)
-.IP "\fBdesired\fR->\fBsamples\fR" 10The desired size of the audio buffer in samples\&. This number should be a power of two, and may be adjusted by the audio driver to a value more suitable for the hardware\&. Good values seem to range between 512 and 8192 inclusive, depending on the application and CPU speed\&. Smaller values yield faster response time, but can lead to underflow if the application is doing heavy processing and cannot fill the audio buffer in time\&. A stereo sample consists of both right and left channels in LR ordering\&. Note that the number of samples is directly related to time by the following formula: ms = (samples*1000)/freq
-.IP "\fBdesired\fR->\fBcallback\fR" 10This should be set to a function that will be called when the audio device is ready for more data\&. It is passed a pointer to the audio buffer, and the length in bytes of the audio buffer\&. This function usually runs in a separate thread, and so you should protect data structures that it accesses by calling \fI\fBSDL_LockAudio\fP\fR and \fI\fBSDL_UnlockAudio\fP\fR in your code\&. The callback prototype is:
-.PP
-.nf
-\f(CWvoid callback(void *userdata, Uint8 *stream, int len);\fR
-.fi
-.PP
- \fBuserdata\fR is the pointer stored in \fBuserdata\fR field of the \fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR\&. \fBstream\fR is a pointer to the audio buffer you want to fill with information and \fBlen\fR is the length of the audio buffer in bytes\&.
-.IP "\fBdesired\fR->\fBuserdata\fR" 10This pointer is passed as the first parameter to the \fBcallback\fP function\&.
-.PP
-\fBSDL_OpenAudio\fP reads these fields from the \fBdesired\fR \fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR structure pass to the function and attempts to find an audio configuration matching your \fBdesired\fR\&. As mentioned above, if the \fBobtained\fR parameter is \fBNULL\fP then SDL with convert from your \fBdesired\fR audio settings to the hardware settings as it plays\&.
-.PP
-If \fBobtained\fR is \fBNULL\fP then the \fBdesired\fR \fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR is your working specification, otherwise the \fBobtained\fR \fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR becomes the working specification and the \fBdesirec\fR specification can be deleted\&. The data in the working specification is used when building \fBSDL_AudioCVT\fR\&'s for converting loaded data to the hardware format\&.
-.PP
-\fBSDL_OpenAudio\fP calculates the \fBsize\fR and \fBsilence\fR fields for both the \fBdesired\fR and \fBobtained\fR specifications\&. The \fBsize\fR field stores the total size of the audio buffer in bytes, while the \fBsilence\fR stores the value used to represent silence in the audio buffer
-.PP
-The audio device starts out playing \fBsilence\fR when it\&'s opened, and should be enabled for playing by calling \fI\fBSDL_PauseAudio\fP(\fB0\fR)\fR when you are ready for your audio \fBcallback\fR function to be called\&. Since the audio driver may modify the requested \fBsize\fR of the audio buffer, you should allocate any local mixing buffers after you open the audio device\&.
