Minor Issue with Audio

[justsomeguy]

Hello

I sorry to keep bothering you guys with issues. I'm writing a game that has background music that is looping. I fade the music in and fade it out, so that it doesn't sound abrupt when starting to play or when I want it to end. So, this somewhat depends on the length of the sound clip.

So, I use _SNDLEN (handle) get the length of the sound clip. With version 3.14, _SNDLEN() no longer reports the length of a sound file that has the *.ogg extention. It returns 0 length. It has a handle and it will play it, just _SNDLEN() returns 0. 

I checked with *.mp3 and they report the correct length.

Version 3.13 works correctly with either extension .

Sample code and couple of .ogg files.

I'm running Linux.

Code: (Select All)

DIM AS STRING sndFile

DIM AS LONG sndH

DIM AS DOUBLE sndL



sndFile = _OPENFILEDIALOG$("Open Sound File", "", "*.mp3|*.ogg|*.wav|*.flac", "Audio files", -1)



IF sndFile <> "" THEN

sndH = _SNDOPEN(sndFile)

IF sndH > 0 THEN

  _SNDVOL sndH, .25

  sndL = _SNDLEN(sndH)

  _SNDPLAY sndH

  PRINT "File:"; sndFile

  PRINT "Sound Handle:"; sndH

  PRINT "Sound Length:"; sndL

END IF

END IF



END IF
