How do I play a sound file with SDL?
I've downloaded the library files but SDL/SDL_mixer.h (that most of the tutorials include) doesn't exist. So, how do I install it?
As I said mixer.h doesn't exist but, If it is helpful, the default code is this:
Code:
#include "stdlib.h"
#include "SDL/SDL.h"
#include "SDL/SDL_mixer.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
SDL_Surface *screen;
Mix_Chunk *sound = NULL;
int channel;
int audio_rate = 22050;
Uint16 audio_format = AUDIO_S16SYS;
int audio_channels = 2;
int audio_buffers = 4096;
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_AUDIO) != 0) {
printf("Unable to initialize SDL: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
return 1;
}
if(Mix_OpenAudio(audio_rate, audio_format, audio_channels, audio_buffers) != 0) {
printf("Unable to initialize audio: %s\n", Mix_GetError());
exit(1);
}
sound = Mix_LoadWAV("sound.wav");
if(sound == NULL) {
printf("Unable to load WAV file: %s\n", Mix_GetError());
}
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(320, 240, 0, SDL_ANYFORMAT);
if (screen == NULL) {
printf("Unable to set video mode: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
return 1;
}
channel = Mix_PlayChannel(-1, sound, 0);
if(channel == -1) {
printf("Unable to play WAV file: %s\n", Mix_GetError());
}
while(Mix_Playing(channel) != 0);
Mix_FreeChunk(sound);
Mix_CloseAudio();
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}

Hi,
I am working on SDL open-source API's on Debian Linux for my game development project. I am not sure whether posting SDL related queries here is correct. I would like to know what is the difference between:

I would like to be able to shell out to the command line and play sounds.
After installing "sox" I can now do this using the play command. Is there a way to stop the playing once it starts? (5 Replies)
Hi All,
I was wondering if someone could clarify the best way to display mpeg video with SDL in MinGW.
After scouring the internet it seems there is not a lot of information regarding this subject (or at least not up to date) and libraries that are available for this purpose.
Any help/... (1 Reply)

o "SDL::Video::video(bool)" enables or disable video playback, (on by default)
o "SDL::Video::loop(bool)" enables or disable playback looping (off by default)
o "SDL::Video::volume(int)" set the volume as per the mixer volume
o "SDL::Video:display(surface)" binds the clip to a display surface
o "SDL::Video::scale([x,y]|[surface]|int)" scales the clip by either x,y factors, scales to the image dimensions, or a single scalar.
o "SDL::Video::play()" plays the video clip, call "SDL::Video::display()" before playing
o "SDL::Video::pause()" pauses video playback
o "SDL::Video::stop()" stops video playback
o "SDL::Video::rewind()" resets the clip to the beginning
o "SDL::Video::seek(offset)" seeks to a particular byte offset
o "SDL::Video::skip(time)" skips to a particular time
o "SDL::Video::region(rect)" takes a SDL::Rect and defines the display area
o "SDL::Video::frame(int)" renders a specific frame to the screen
