Feature requests / 'Stopped' callback in sf::Sound

« on: July 18, 2011, 09:32:15 pm »

Hmm ok, I'm not familiar with OpenAL API. I thought it had such funcionality implemented.

In that case, I agree it's probably best to leave it to the user to handle it.

I will analyze what will work best in my case (creating/deleting sounds or reusing them as Groogy suggested).

Ty.

Feature requests / 'Stopped' callback in sf::Sound

« on: July 18, 2011, 12:55:16 am »

Hello,

I believe sf::Sound lacks a callback for when it finishes playing. Unlike sf::Sprite, it can't be destroyed before it finishes playing, therefore managing sf::Sound instances is tricky.

Currently, you need to manually manage each sf::Sound instance. The best solution I come up with so far was to keep track of all sf::Sound instances created and periodically iterate through them, deleting the ones that have Status::Stopped.

I do not believe this an optimal solution. Having sf::Sound call your callback object when it's done playing would give you the opportunity to delete the now useless sf::Sound instead of having to manually check if it's stopped.

IIRC SDL had support for such a callback.


Cheers and keep up the excellent work,
