OpenAL priority "Intelligent Source Manager"

[JernejL]

Updated / fixed download link.

Is anyone still interested in this or uses it? i added some improvements and fixes to it since the last update here.

Yes I'm intersted. I use openAL in my engine and would like to add a bit more intelligence to it, if that can be achieved easily.

What kind of license do you use? I might want to use (some of) your code in my engine in the future.

[JernejL]

No license.. kinda like BSD but more like do as you please

[chronozphere]

Great! Thank you.

If I use it, I will probably refactor it so that it fits my object-oriented style of coding. I'm planning on releasing my engine under LGPL as soon as it's worth releasing.

The main thing of intelligent source manager is to swap-in and swap-out sources while simulating as if the source was still playing during the time it wasn't in the active sources pool, you can easily reuse this logic from my code which is the most important part and use a object oriented design of your own. I plan to do the same and port this code out of the procedural world, but it simply isn't high on priority currently.

Here says:

Invalid Floating Point Operation

What do I do?

Break here :
// calculate how much time would whole sound take to play at current pitch.
one_frame_ms := buffsize / bits / freq; // 44100 <----------------------------------
one_frame_ms := one_frame_ms / VirtualSource.Pitch;

0.o

what type is one_frame_ms? Integer? You'd need to either:
one_frame_ms := buffsize div bits div freq
or you could
one_framce_ms := trunc(buffsize / bits / freq)

and you might want to consider using brackets just to be extra sure you don't cause a bug that may be marginally annoying
