NAME
SoVRMLAudioClip -
The SoVRMLAudioClip class is used to load and store audio data.
Audio data is loaded using the simage library, so make sure you have built the simage library with
support for the audio file formats you intend to use (libogg, libvorbis and libvorbisfile for OggVorbis,
libsndfile for WAV and several other formats).

Detailed Description
The SoVRMLAudioClip class is used to load and store audio data.
Audio data is loaded using the simage library, so make sure you have built the simage library with
support for the audio file formats you intend to use (libogg, libvorbis and libvorbisfile for OggVorbis,
libsndfile for WAV and several other formats).
The detailed class documentation is taken verbatim from the VRML97 standard (ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997). It is
copyright The Web3D Consortium, and is used by permission of the Consortium:
AudioClip {
exposedField SFString description ""
exposedField SFBool loop FALSE
exposedField SFFloat pitch 1.0 # (0, inf)
exposedField SFTime startTime 0 # (-inf, inf)
exposedField SFTime stopTime 0 # (-inf, inf)
exposedField MFString url []
eventOut SFTime duration_changed
eventOut SFBool isActive
}
An AudioClip node specifies audio data that can be referenced by Sound nodes. The description field
specifies a textual description of the audio source. A browser is not required to display the description
field but may choose to do so in addition to playing the sound. The url field specifies the URL from
which the sound is loaded. Browsers shall support at least the wavefile format in uncompressed PCM format
(see http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/bibliography.html#[WAV]). It
is recommended that browsers also support the MIDI file type 1 sound format (see
http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/references.html#[MIDI]); MIDI
files are presumed to use the General MIDI patch set. Subclause 4.5, VRML and the World Wide Web
(http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.5), contains
details on the url field. The results are undefined when no URLs refer to supported data types.
The loop, startTime, and stopTime exposedFields and the isActive eventOut, and their effects on the
AudioClip node, are discussed in detail in 4.6.9, Time-dependent nodes
(http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.6.9). The
'cycle' of an AudioClip is the length of time in seconds for one playing of the audio at the specified
pitch. The pitch field specifies a multiplier for the rate at which sampled sound is played. Values for
the pitch field shall be greater than zero. Changing the pitch field affects both the pitch and playback
speed of a sound. A set_pitch event to an active AudioClip is ignored and no pitch_changed eventOut is
generated. If pitch is set to 2.0, the sound shall be played one octave higher than normal and played
twice as fast. For a sampled sound, the pitch field alters the sampling rate at which the sound is
played. The proper implementation of pitch control for MIDI (or other note sequence sound clips) is to
multiply the tempo of the playback by the pitch value and adjust the MIDI Coarse Tune and Fine Tune
controls to achieve the proper pitch change. A duration_changed event is sent whenever there is a new
value for the 'normal' duration of the clip. Typically, this will only occur when the current url in use
changes and the sound data has been loaded, indicating that the clip is playing a different sound source.
The duration is the length of time in seconds for one cycle of the audio for a pitch set to 1.0. Changing
the pitch field will not trigger a duration_changed event. A duration value of '-1' implies that the
sound data has not yet loaded or the value is unavailable for some reason. A duration_changed event shall
be generated if the AudioClip node is loaded when the VRML file is read or the AudioClip node is added to
the scene graph. The isActive eventOut may be used by other nodes to determine if the clip is currently
active. If an AudioClip is active, it shall be playing the sound corresponding to the sound time (i.e.,
in the sound's local time system with sample 0 at time 0):
t = (now - startTime) modulo (duration / pitch)

Member Function Documentation
SoType SoVRMLAudioClip::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]
Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for
run-time type checking and 'downward' casting. Usage example:
void foo(SoNode * node)
{
if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node; // safe downward cast, knows the type
}
}
For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or
others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This is typically done as part of setting
up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished by using the pre-defined
macros available through for instance Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and
SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.
For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses
for the various class groups.
Implements SoBase.
const SoFieldData * SoVRMLAudioClip::getFieldData (void) const [protected], [virtual]
Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are
present, returns NULL.
Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.
void * SoVRMLAudioClip::open (const SbStringList &urlref)
Opens an audio source with the given url. Returns a handle to the datasource.
size_t SoVRMLAudioClip::read (void *datasource, void *buffer, intnumframes, int &channels)
Reads numframes frames of audio with channels channels from datasource into buffer. Buffer must be
allocated by the caller, and must be able to hold all the audio data (size = numframes * channels *
sizeof(int16_t)). The function must always fill the buffer completely unless buffer == NULL.
When an error occurs, or when end-of-file has been reached, this function returns 0. Otherwise, the
function should return numframes.
When the caller receives a return value of 0, it will queue the returned buffer for playing. When this
buffer is finished playing, the caller will call read() one final time, with buffer == NULL. The read()
function can then set the isActive field to FALSE, free any resources allocated, etc.
int SoVRMLAudioClip::seek (void *datasource, longoffset, intwhence)
Moves the 'filepointer' in the datasource, returns -1L on error.
long SoVRMLAudioClip::tell (void *datasource)
Returns the current position of the 'filepointer' in the datasource, or -1L on error.
int SoVRMLAudioClip::close (void *datasource)
Closes datasource.
void SoVRMLAudioClip::setCallbacks (open_func *opencb, read_func *readcb, seek_func *seekcb, tell_func
*tellcb, close_func *closecb, void *userdataptr)
Sets callbacks for opening, reading, seeking, telling and closing an audio source. Specifying NULL for a
function is OK, except for the read function. If a function set to NULL is later called, a default
implementation doing nothing is called in it's place.
Member Data Documentation
SoSFString SoVRMLAudioClip::description

SoSFBool SoVRMLAudioClip::loop
Specifies whether sound should be looped. Is FALSE by default.
SoSFFloat SoVRMLAudioClip::pitch
Specifies the pitch. The default value is 1.0.
Alters the sampling rate at which the sound is played. A pitch of 2.0 means that the sound should be
played twice as fast and one octave higher than normal.
SoSFTime SoVRMLAudioClip::startTime
Specifies the start time. Default value is 0.
SoSFTime SoVRMLAudioClip::stopTime
Specifies the stop time. Default value is 0.
SoMFString SoVRMLAudioClip::url
The audio data URL.
SoVRMLAudioClip::duration_changed [protected]
An eventOut sent when a new sound starts playing.
SoVRMLAudioClip::isActive [protected]
This eventOut is sent when the sound starts/stops playing.
