Module buffer 

This module provides all needed types and methods to create/load sound buffers from different sources.

Overview

Buffer is data source for sound sources in the engine. Each sound sound will fetch samples it needs from a buffer, process them and send to output device. Buffer can be shared across multiple sources, this is why each instance wrapped into Arc<Mutex<>>. Why not just load a buffer per source? This is just inefficient memory-wise. Sound samples are very heavy: for example a mono sound that lasts just 1 second will take ~172 Kb of memory (with 44100 Hz sampling rate and float sample representation).

Modules

generic

Generic buffer module.

streaming

Streaming buffer.

Structs

SoundBufferResource

A shared sound buffer resource.

Enums

DataSource

Data source enumeration. Provides unified way of selecting data source for sound buffers. It can be either a file or memory block.

SoundBufferResourceLoadError

An error that can occur during loading of sound buffer.

SoundBufferState

Sound buffer is a data source for sound sources. See module documentation for more info.

Traits
