Nsince buffer data gets appended to a source
Awith openal i believe you have to manually remember to dequeue the buffers, which means you have to add it in your update loop.
that's ultimately the reason i replaced openal with my own library, because mine doesn't require an update loop at all to dequeue buffers, it just requires a callback

Areuse a source? sources are inherently reusable. just tell it to play a buffer instead of queueing one and it will replace all the queued data and start playing whatever you tell it to
Nwhat I mean is if the source has finished playback and I want to replace the data that has been processed on that source
Aah
yeah this is what i mean by the fact that you have to manually dequeue the buffers in your update loop

Ait's a complete PITA and i hate it
Awhich is the reason i wrote my own, since it does it all automatically unlike openal which doesn't for some unknown reason
Topenal feels like an audio cousin to opengl
Nit is from what I've read from its history
Nalso I think I'm slowly understanding it now
NI got confused because a lot of examples "unqueue" the buffers before playing the source
Ttldr: openal may explode on you depending on its mood
ANok so the idea is "buffers" are like data containers which we can use to pass to a source
Nand once a buffer is processed, we can basically reuse that buffer to write new data to it
Acorrect
Nalright
FI found Naudio for .Net, it looks like human understandable lib. OpenAl feels like back to the C++ pain.
Zhas anyone here used tools like wwise?
Zwanted to use it later as well due to it being pretty good and used in some games i've played
Zthough I'm unsure if .NET bindings for it are good
Znvm the api is weird
Zand hasn't been updated for a while it seems
Zi don't trust it
Fwhat is wwise
Alike fmod
Zyeah true
Zboth studio and an api
Nwhat could possibly be the issue why AL sets to
INVALID_VALUE when calling alBufferData?
Lidk look at the spec
Nfirst, I'm sure there's a context in the calling thread
second, I'm sending in data in multiples of 8
second, I'm sending in data in multiples of 8
NThe size parameter is not valid for the format specified, the buffer is in use, or the data is a NULL pointer.
N"the buffer is in use", this is rather vaguely worded
Las in being played actively probably
Nshouldn't be
Nat least in my code
Ayou need to manually dequeue them
Abefore you can set their data
Nas in the buffer is just made and has not been queued yet
Ain that case you probably are providing it invalid data of some sorts
N
Nlet me check audacity what i used for exporting

Lare you making sure you are decoding/decompressing your audio data properly?
Nthis is my decoder
NAudioStream is just an IMemoryOwner-backed streamAopenal will just take whatever data you give it and play it. so inproper decoding or decompression is not the issue here
Ait doesn't care if what it gives you is complete static
Ato me it doesn't look like you are giving it a length?
Ldoesn't it have to be the right size tho like multiples of x
