## Description

SwfdecAudio is the way audio output is provided by a SwfdecPlayer. See its documentation on how to access SwfdecAudio objects.

An audio object gives access to one audio stream played inside a player. You are responsible for outputting this data, swfdec does not try to do this for you.

Audio data is always provided in 16bit host-endian stereo. If the data was encoded into a different format originally, Swfdec will already have decoded it. The data is always referenced relative to the player. Sample 0 references the first sample to be played at the current position. If the player gets iterated, sample 0 changes. There is no way to access samples belonging to a previous state.

## Details

### SwfdecAudio

    typedef struct _SwfdecAudio SwfdecAudio;

This object is used for audio output. It is an abstract class.

### swfdec_audio_render ()

    gsize               swfdec_audio_render                 (SwfdecAudio *audio,
                                                             gint16 *dest,
                                                             gsize start_offset,
                                                             gsize n_samples);

Renders the samples from `audio` into the area pointed to by `dest`. Existing data in `dest` is overwritten.

`audio` : | a SwfdecAudio
`dest` : | memory area to render to
`start_offset` : | offset in samples at which to start rendering. The offset is calculated relative to the last iteration, so the value set by `swfdec_player_set_audio_advance()` is ignored.
`n_samples` : | amount of samples to render.
Returns : | The amount of samples actually rendered. Usually this number is equal to `n_samples`, but if you arrived at the end of stream or the stream is still loading, this number may be lower. It indicates that no more samples are available.

## Signal Details

### The `"changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SwfdecAudio *audio,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run Last

This signal is emitted whenever the data of the `audio` changed and cached data should be rerendered. This happens for example when the volume of the audio is changed by the Flash file.

`audio` : | the SwfdecAudio affected
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"new-data"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SwfdecAudio *audio,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run Last

This signal is emitted whenever new data was loaded into `audio`. You want to listen to this signal when `swfdec_audio_render()` previously returned less samples than you wanted to render.

`audio` : | the SwfdecAudio affected
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
