Minuous, zukow: I have one question. I load a 16-bit stereo sample using sound datatype, check type of the sample (function
GetDTAttrs with tag
SDTA_SampleType). Returned type is 0x00020002, so this is really stereo 16-bit:
soundclass.hCode:
#define SDTST_M8S 0x00010001 /* 8bit mono sample (default) */
#define SDTST_S8S 0x00020001 /* 8bit stereo sample (samplewise left/right) */
#define SDTST_M16S 0x00010002 /* same as SDTST_M8S but 16bit */
#define SDTST_S16S 0x00020002 /* same as SDTST_S8S but 16bit */
However if I play the sound using AHI with parameter:
Code:
AHIio->ahir_Type = AHIST_S16S;
tempo of the sound is too fast (probably 4x).
If I set parameter:
Code:
AHIio->ahir_Type = AHIST_M8S;
tempo of ths sound is correct.
What does it mean? Sound loaded using DataTypes always is converted to 8-bit?
If this is true, sound datatypes are absolutely useless. :) Now I understand why Reggae was created. :)
