NAME

6       SDL_ConvertAudio - Convert audio data to a desired audio format.

SYNOPSIS

9       #include "SDL.h"
10
11       int SDL_ConvertAudio(SDL_AudioCVT *cvt);

DESCRIPTION

14       SDL_ConvertAudio  takes  one  parameter, cvt, which was previously ini‐
15       tilized. Initilizing a SDL_AudioCVT is a two  step  process.  First  of
16       all,  the  structure  must  be  passed  to SDL_BuildAudioCVT along with
17       source and destination format parameters. Secondly,  the  cvt->buf  and
18       cvt->len  fields must be setup. cvt->buf should point to the audio data
19       and cvt->len should be set to the length of the audio  data  in  bytes.
20       Remember,  the  length  of  the  buffer  pointed  to  by  buf  show  be
21       len*len_mult bytes in length.
22
23       Once the SDL_AudioCVTstructure is initilized then we  can  pass  it  to
24       SDL_ConvertAudio,  which  will  convert  the  audio  data pointer to by
25       cvt->buf. If SDL_ConvertAudio returned 0 then the conversion  was  com‐
26       pleted successfully, otherwise -1 is returned.
27
28       If  the conversion completed successfully then the converted audio data
29       can be read from cvt->buf. The amount of valid, converted,  audio  data
30       in the buffer is equal to cvt->len*cvt->len_ratio.
