Mix Chunk (class)

Mix_Chunk - is an SDL Mixer's internal format of an audio chunk.

typedef struct Mix_Chunk {
    int allocated;
    Uint8 *abuf;
    Uint32 alen;
    Uint8 volume;     /* Per-sample volume, 0-128 */
} Mix_Chunk;

The internal format for an audio chunk. This stores the sample data, the length in bytes of that data, and the volume to use when mixing the sample.

To construct this class use the Audio.newMix_Chunk() function to construct a global variable in your code (with null pointer). And use the Audio.SfxOpen(string fileName) function which loads the sound file into buffer and returns pointer to loaded chunk.

Mix_Chunk class
Type	Function/Field	Return values/Value type	Description
Field	Mix_Chunk:allocated	int	a boolean indicating whether to free abuf when the chunk is freed. 0 if the memory was not allocated and thus not owned by this chunk. 1 if the memory was allocated and is thus owned by this chunk.
Field	Mix_Chunk:abuf	int	Pointer to the sample data, which is in the output format and sample rate.
Field	Mix_Chunk:alen	int	Length of abuf in bytes. Carefully modify this value, if you changed it, you should return initial value back on exiting from level or from world to avoid memory leak!
Field	Mix_Chunk:volume	int	0 = silent, 128 = max volume. This takes effect when mixing.
