Using openAL

[darcone]

I tried using the skeleton code for openAL but these lines didnt make any sense to me or the compiler:

//create one IntBuffer as buffer and one as source
 IntBuffer buffers = createIntBuffer(1);
 IntBuffer sources = createIntBuffer(1);

Also, is it hard to load orbis files instead of wave files? I want to have one stream with background music and one to play effects... can you mix it that way?
Any code samples would be appreciated

but these lines didnt make any sense to me or the compiler:

It's just a utility method located in:
org.lwjgl.test.openal.BasicTest

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13

/**      * Creates an integer buffer to hold specified ints      * - strictly a utility method      *      * @param size how many int to contain      * @return created IntBuffer      */     protected IntBuffer createIntBuffer(int size) {         ByteBuffer temp = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(4*size);         temp.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());                 return temp.asIntBuffer();     }

Also, is it hard to load orbis files instead of wave files?

Nope - however oal only plays PCM audio, so you need to decode the ogg files to PCM first, and then load them directly:
Go to http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/index.html and download the jorbis package
Familiarize yourself with it
take any ogg file, and decode it using the VorbisFile class - save the raw data, and play that directly with openal.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/spgl also have some OpenAL stuff in there...(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/spgl/spgl/src/com/shavenpuppy/jglib/sound/)

hope this gets you started

Jorbis has become part of the SPGL now All the sound in A.F. is oggs.

I think I could use to write something simple myself really... Not that I dont like your work princec but I think using lwjgl is just enough, otherwise my software will be mostly written by you

[princec]

Soon ALL software will be written by me! Muahahaha! (etc)
