## Detailed Description

Provide read access to sound files.

This class decodes audio samples from a sound file.

It is used internally by higher-level classes such as sf::SoundBuffer and sf::Music, but can also be useful if you want to process or analyze audio files without playing them, or if you want to implement your own version of sf::Music with more specific features.

Usage example:

// Open a sound file
sf::InputSoundFile file;
if (!file.openFromFile("music.ogg"))
/* error */;
// Print the sound attributes
std::cout << "duration: " << file.getDuration().asSeconds() << std::endl;
std::cout << "channels: " << file.getChannelCount() << std::endl;
std::cout << "sample rate: " << file.getSampleRate() << std::endl;
std::cout << "sample count: " << file.getSampleCount() << std::endl;
// Read and process batches of samples until the end of file is reached
sf::Int16 samples[1024];
sf::Uint64 count;
do
{
count = file.read(samples, 1024);
// process, analyze, play, convert, or whatever
// you want to do with the samples...
}
while (count > 0);

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ InputSoundFile()

sf::InputSoundFile::InputSoundFile | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

## ◆ ~InputSoundFile()

sf::InputSoundFile::~InputSoundFile | ( |  | ) |

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ getChannelCount()

unsigned int sf::InputSoundFile::getChannelCount | ( |  | ) | const

Get the number of channels used by the sound.

Returns
  Number of channels (1 = mono, 2 = stereo)

## ◆ getDuration()

Time sf::InputSoundFile::getDuration | ( |  | ) | const

Get the total duration of the sound file.

This function is provided for convenience, the duration is deduced from the other sound file attributes.

Returns
  Duration of the sound file

## ◆ getSampleCount()

Uint64 sf::InputSoundFile::getSampleCount | ( |  | ) | const

Get the total number of audio samples in the file.

Returns
  Number of samples

## ◆ getSampleOffset()

Uint64 sf::InputSoundFile::getSampleOffset | ( |  | ) | const

Get the read offset of the file in samples.

Returns
  Sample position

## ◆ getSampleRate()

unsigned int sf::InputSoundFile::getSampleRate | ( |  | ) | const

Get the sample rate of the sound.

Returns
  Sample rate, in samples per second

## ◆ getTimeOffset()

Time sf::InputSoundFile::getTimeOffset | ( |  | ) | const

Get the read offset of the file in time.

Returns
  Time position

## ◆ openFromFile()

bool sf::InputSoundFile::openFromFile | ( | const std::string & | filename | ) |

Open a sound file from the disk for reading.

The supported audio formats are: WAV (PCM only), OGG/Vorbis, FLAC. The supported sample sizes for FLAC and WAV are 8, 16, 24 and 32 bit.

Parameters

  filename | Path of the sound file to load

Returns
  True if the file was successfully opened

## ◆ openFromMemory()

bool sf::InputSoundFile::openFromMemory | ( | const void * | data,
|  | std::size_t | sizeInBytes
| ) |  |

Open a sound file in memory for reading.

The supported audio formats are: WAV (PCM only), OGG/Vorbis, FLAC. The supported sample sizes for FLAC and WAV are 8, 16, 24 and 32 bit.

Parameters

  data | Pointer to the file data in memory
  sizeInBytes | Size of the data to load, in bytes

Returns
  True if the file was successfully opened

## ◆ openFromStream()

bool sf::InputSoundFile::openFromStream | ( | InputStream & | stream | ) |

Open a sound file from a custom stream for reading.

The supported audio formats are: WAV (PCM only), OGG/Vorbis, FLAC. The supported sample sizes for FLAC and WAV are 8, 16, 24 and 32 bit.

Parameters

  stream | Source stream to read from

Returns
  True if the file was successfully opened

## ◆ read()

Uint64 sf::InputSoundFile::read | ( | Int16 * | samples,
|  | Uint64 | maxCount
| ) |  |

Read audio samples from the open file.

Parameters

  samples | Pointer to the sample array to fill
  maxCount | Maximum number of samples to read

Returns
  Number of samples actually read (may be less than maxCount)

## ◆ seek() [1/2]

void sf::InputSoundFile::seek | ( | Time | timeOffset | ) |

Change the current read position to the given time offset.

Using a time offset is handy but imprecise. If you need an accurate result, consider using the overload which takes a sample offset.

If the given time exceeds to total duration, this function jumps to the end of the sound file.

Parameters

  timeOffset | Time to jump to, relative to the beginning

## ◆ seek() [2/2]

void sf::InputSoundFile::seek | ( | Uint64 | sampleOffset | ) |

Change the current read position to the given sample offset.

This function takes a sample offset to provide maximum precision. If you need to jump to a given time, use the other overload.

The sample offset takes the channels into account. If you have a time offset instead, you can easily find the corresponding sample offset with the following formula: `timeInSeconds * sampleRate * channelCount` If the given offset exceeds to total number of samples, this function jumps to the end of the sound file.

Parameters

  sampleOffset | Index of the sample to jump to, relative to the beginning
