[][src]Constant fermium::hints::SDL_HINT_WAVE_RIFF_CHUNK_SIZE

pub const SDL_HINT_WAVE_RIFF_CHUNK_SIZE: &[u8];

Controls how the size of the RIFF chunk affects the loading of a WAVE file.

The size of the RIFF chunk (which includes all the sub-chunks of the WAVE file) is not always reliable. In case the size is wrong, it's possible to just ignore it and step through the chunks until a fixed limit is reached.

Note that files that have trailing data unrelated to the WAVE file or corrupt files may slow down the loading process without a reliable boundary. By default, SDL stops after 10000 chunks to prevent wasting time. Use the environment variable SDL_WAVE_CHUNK_LIMIT to adjust this value.

This variable can be set to the following values:

  • "force": Always use the RIFF chunk size as a boundary for the chunk search
  • "ignorezero": Like "force", but a zero size searches up to 4 GiB (default)
  • "ignore": Ignore the RIFF chunk size and always search up to 4 GiB
  • "maximum": Search for chunks until the end of file (not recommended)
