Detailed Description

Abstract base class for streamed audio sources.

Unlike audio buffers (see sf::SoundBuffer), audio streams are never completely loaded in memory.

Instead, the audio data is acquired continuously while the stream is playing. This behavior allows to play a sound with no loading delay, and keeps the memory consumption very low.

Sound sources that need to be streamed are usually big files (compressed audio musics that would eat hundreds of MB in memory) or files that would take a lot of time to be received (sounds played over the network).

sf::SoundStream is a base class that doesn't care about the stream source, which is left to the derived class. SFML provides a built-in specialization for big files (see sf::Music). No network stream source is provided, but you can write your own by combining this class with the network module.

A derived class has to override two virtual functions:

  • onGetData fills a new chunk of audio data to be played
  • onSeek changes the current playing position in the source

It is important to note that each SoundStream is played in its own separate thread, so that the streaming loop doesn't block the rest of the program. In particular, the OnGetData and OnSeek virtual functions may sometimes be called from this separate thread. It is important to keep this in mind, because you may have to take care of synchronization issues if you share data between threads.

Usage example:

class CustomStream : public sf::SoundStream
{
public:
bool open(const std::string& location)
{
// Open the source and get audio settings
...
unsigned int channelCount = ...;
unsigned int sampleRate = ...;
// Initialize the stream -- important!
initialize(channelCount, sampleRate);
}
private:
virtual bool onGetData(Chunk& data)
{
// Fill the chunk with audio data from the stream source
// (note: must not be empty if you want to continue playing)
data.samples = ...;
data.sampleCount = ...;
// Return true to continue playing
return true;
}
virtual void onSeek(Uint32 timeOffset)
{
// Change the current position in the stream source
...
}
}
// Usage
CustomStream stream;
stream.open("path/to/stream");
stream.play();

The sample rate is the number of audio samples played per second. The higher, the better the quality.

Returns
Sample rate, in number of samples per second

◆ getStatus()

Status sf::SoundStream::getStatus ( ) const
virtual

Get the current status of the stream (stopped, paused, playing)

Returns
Current status

Reimplemented from sf::SoundSource.

◆ getVolume()

float sf::SoundSource::getVolume ( ) const
inherited

Returns
Volume of the sound, in the range [0, 100]
See also
setVolume

◆ initialize()

void sf::SoundStream::initialize ( unsigned int  channelCount,
unsigned int  sampleRate 
)
protected

Define the audio stream parameters.

This function must be called by derived classes as soon as they know the audio settings of the stream to play. Any attempt to manipulate the stream (play(), ...) before calling this function will fail. It can be called multiple times if the settings of the audio stream change, but only when the stream is stopped.

Parameters
channelCountNumber of channels of the stream
sampleRateSample rate, in samples per second

◆ isRelativeToListener()

bool sf::SoundSource::isRelativeToListener ( ) const
inherited

Tell whether the sound's position is relative to the listener or is absolute.

Returns
True if the position is relative, false if it's absolute
See also
setRelativeToListener

◆ onGetData()

virtual bool sf::SoundStream::onGetData ( Chunk data)
protectedpure virtual

Request a new chunk of audio samples from the stream source.

This function must be overridden by derived classes to provide the audio samples to play. It is called continuously by the streaming loop, in a separate thread. The source can choose to stop the streaming loop at any time, by returning false to the caller. If you return true (i.e. continue streaming) it is important that the returned array of samples is not empty; this would stop the stream due to an internal limitation.

Parameters
dataChunk of data to fill
Returns
True to continue playback, false to stop

Implemented in sf::Music.

◆ onLoop()

virtual Int64 sf::SoundStream::onLoop ( )
protectedvirtual

Change the current playing position in the stream source to the beginning of the loop.

This function can be overridden by derived classes to allow implementation of custom loop points. Otherwise, it just calls onSeek(Time::Zero) and returns 0.

Returns
The seek position after looping (or -1 if there's no loop)

Reimplemented in sf::Music.

◆ onSeek()

virtual void sf::SoundStream::onSeek ( Time  timeOffset)
protectedpure virtual

Change the current playing position in the stream source.

This function must be overridden by derived classes to allow random seeking into the stream source.

Parameters
timeOffsetNew playing position, relative to the beginning of the stream

Implemented in sf::Music.

◆ pause()

void sf::SoundStream::pause ( )
virtual

Pause the audio stream.

This function pauses the stream if it was playing, otherwise (stream already paused or stopped) it has no effect.

See also
play, stop

Implements sf::SoundSource.

◆ play()

void sf::SoundStream::play ( )
virtual

Start or resume playing the audio stream.

This function starts the stream if it was stopped, resumes it if it was paused, and restarts it from the beginning if it was already playing. This function uses its own thread so that it doesn't block the rest of the program while the stream is played.

See also
pause, stop

Implements sf::SoundSource.

◆ setAttenuation()

void sf::SoundSource::setAttenuation ( float  attenuation)
inherited

Set the attenuation factor of the sound.

The attenuation is a multiplicative factor which makes the sound more or less loud according to its distance from the listener. An attenuation of 0 will produce a non-attenuated sound, i.e. its volume will always be the same whether it is heard from near or from far. On the other hand, an attenuation value such as 100 will make the sound fade out very quickly as it gets further from the listener. The default value of the attenuation is 1.

Parameters
attenuationNew attenuation factor of the sound
See also
getAttenuation, setMinDistance

◆ setLoop()

void sf::SoundStream::setLoop ( bool  loop)

Set whether or not the stream should loop after reaching the end.

If set, the stream will restart from beginning after reaching the end and so on, until it is stopped or setLoop(false) is called. The default looping state for streams is false.

Parameters
loopTrue to play in loop, false to play once
See also
getLoop

◆ setMinDistance()

void sf::SoundSource::setMinDistance ( float  distance)
inherited

Set the minimum distance of the sound.

The "minimum distance" of a sound is the maximum distance at which it is heard at its maximum volume. Further than the minimum distance, it will start to fade out according to its attenuation factor. A value of 0 ("inside the head of the listener") is an invalid value and is forbidden. The default value of the minimum distance is 1.

Parameters
distanceNew minimum distance of the sound
See also
getMinDistance, setAttenuation

◆ setPitch()

void sf::SoundSource::setPitch ( float  pitch)
inherited

Set the pitch of the sound.

The pitch represents the perceived fundamental frequency of a sound; thus you can make a sound more acute or grave by changing its pitch. A side effect of changing the pitch is to modify the playing speed of the sound as well. The default value for the pitch is 1.

Parameters
pitchNew pitch to apply to the sound
See also
getPitch

◆ setPlayingOffset()

void sf::SoundStream::setPlayingOffset ( Time  timeOffset)

Change the current playing position of the stream.

The playing position can be changed when the stream is either paused or playing. Changing the playing position when the stream is stopped has no effect, since playing the stream would reset its position.

Parameters
timeOffsetNew playing position, from the beginning of the stream
See also
getPlayingOffset

◆ setPosition() [1/2]

void sf::SoundSource::setPosition ( float  x,
float  y,
float  z 
)
inherited

Set the 3D position of the sound in the audio scene.

Only sounds with one channel (mono sounds) can be spatialized. The default position of a sound is (0, 0, 0).

Parameters
xX coordinate of the position of the sound in the scene
yY coordinate of the position of the sound in the scene
zZ coordinate of the position of the sound in the scene
See also
getPosition

◆ setPosition() [2/2]

void sf::SoundSource::setPosition ( const Vector3f position)
inherited

Set the 3D position of the sound in the audio scene.

Only sounds with one channel (mono sounds) can be spatialized. The default position of a sound is (0, 0, 0).

Parameters
positionPosition of the sound in the scene
See also
getPosition

◆ setRelativeToListener()

void sf::SoundSource::setRelativeToListener ( bool  relative)
inherited

Make the sound's position relative to the listener or absolute.

Making a sound relative to the listener will ensure that it will always be played the same way regardless of the position of the listener. This can be useful for non-spatialized sounds, sounds that are produced by the listener, or sounds attached to it. The default value is false (position is absolute).

Parameters
relativeTrue to set the position relative, false to set it absolute
See also
isRelativeToListener

◆ setVolume()

void sf::SoundSource::setVolume ( float  volume)
inherited

Set the volume of the sound.

The volume is a value between 0 (mute) and 100 (full volume). The default value for the volume is 100.

Parameters
volumeVolume of the sound
See also
getVolume

◆ stop()

void sf::SoundStream::stop ( )
virtual

Stop playing the audio stream.

This function stops the stream if it was playing or paused, and does nothing if it was already stopped. It also resets the playing position (unlike pause()).

See also
play, pause

Implements sf::SoundSource.
