<H1>The SL Sound and Mixer Libraries.</H1>
|

By Steve Baker
|
||||
<H2>Introduction.</H2>
|
||||
The 'SL' sound library is primarily targetted towards producing sound
|
||||
effects for games, and isn't really intended for playing music (although
|
||||
you could certainly use it for doing that). The emphasis is on low
|
||||
CPU impact and low latency rather than high quality and fancy MIDI/MOD
|
||||
facilities.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
SL is a part of <A HREF="../index.html">PLIB</A>.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The 'SL' sound library will eventually become a fully portable freeware
|
||||
sound library that should run on all major platforms. Right now, SL
|
||||
runs under:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Linux on systems with OSS (the Open Sound System) installed
|
||||
(it's usually a standard part of the kernel).
|
||||
<li>Windows NT, 95 and 98.
|
||||
<li>OpenBSD.
|
||||
<li>SGI's IRIX.
|
||||
<li>Other UNIX systems using OSS (which should include Solaris, FreeBSD,
|
||||
BSD/OS, SCO and others) should be able to run the Linux version of
|
||||
SL by adding '-DSL_USING_OSS_AUDIO' to the compile command line.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
At present, there is no support for Apple's MacOS sound systems
|
||||
- although it is hoped that these will be added in the near future.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><A HREF="sl.html">The SL Library</A>
|
||||
deals with all aspects of sample replay for games and
|
||||
other realtime applications - it is designed such that it can be
|
||||
ported to other operating systems by replacing just the slDSP
|
||||
class.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<li><A HREF="sm.html">The SM Library</A>
|
||||
controls the audio mixer on a PC sound card and
|
||||
probably only works 100% correctly within OSS - and then probably
|
||||
only on fairly 'vanilla' Soundblaster-compatible sound cards.
|
||||
Portability of SM is patchy - regard it as a bonus.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
It is due to the relative non-portability of the SM routines
|
||||
that these are in a separate library. For non-portable
|
||||
applications, SL and SM can be considered as a single library.

<H2>Introduction.</H2>
|
||||
This library allows one to drive the mixer controls of
|
||||
most PC-style sound cards. It relies
|
||||
on <A HREF="http://www.4front-tech.com">the Open Sound
|
||||
System</A> drivers (formerly known as 'VoxWare')
|
||||
- which are generally a standard part of the Linux Kernel - and
|
||||
which is also available on some other UNIX platforms.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A port of SM to the Windows family of operating systems
|
||||
is currently underway.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
SM does not work under SGI's IRIX.
|
||||
<H2>Using the Library.</H2>
|
||||
To use this library, you must '#include "sm.h"' and link to
|
||||
libsm.a or libsm.so.
|
||||
<H2>class smMixer.</H2>
|
||||
This library comprises a single class 'smMixer'.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Most programs will only ever create a single smMixer object.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here are the member functions:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
|
||||
class smMixer
|
||||
{
|
||||
public:
|
||||
|
||||
smMixer () ;
|
||||
smMixer ( char *device ) ;
|
||||
~smMixer () ;
|
||||
|
||||
int not_working () ;
|
||||
|
||||
/* Volume/Treble/Bass controls are in integer percentages */
|
||||
|
||||
void setTreble ( int treble ) ;
|
||||
void setBass ( int bass ) ;
|
||||
|
||||
void setMasterVolume ( int volume ) ;
|
||||
void setSynthVolume ( int volume ) ;
|
||||
void setPCMVolume ( int volume ) ;
|
||||
void setSpeakerVolume( int volume ) ;
|
||||
void setLineVolume ( int volume ) ;
|
||||
void setMicVolume ( int volume ) ;
|
||||
void setCDVolume ( int volume ) ;
|
||||
|
||||
void setMasterVolume ( int left, int right ) ;
|
||||
void setSynthVolume ( int left, int right ) ;
|
||||
void setPCMVolume ( int left, int right ) ;
|
||||
void setSpeakerVolume( int left, int right ) ;
|
||||
void setLineVolume ( int left, int right ) ;
|
||||
void setMicVolume ( int left, int right ) ;
|
||||
void setCDVolume ( int left, int right ) ;
|
||||
} ;
|
||||
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
Basically, each of the mixer devices can be driven with either
|
||||
mono or stereo volume controls, each volume is a expressed as an
|
||||
integer percentage of maximum.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
By default, "/dev/mixer" is the device used by this class, but
|
||||
an alternative device may be accessed if it's name is passed
|
||||
into the constructor.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The 'not_working()' function returns TRUE if there is any kind of
|
||||
problem with the driver. Mostly it returns TRUE if your system isn't
|
||||
set up for audio.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The driver will not fail if you call it's member functions when
|
||||
'not_working()' returns TRUE - so programs written for audio
|
||||
should work OK even on Linux boxes with no audio support.
