How to manage audio with SFML?
« on: October 04, 2010, 09:39:48 pm »
Greetings,

I thought I would be able to play sounds that way :

sf::Music music;
music.OpenFromFile("../Data/Music/canary.wav");
music.Play();

If music is destroyed the sound will stop playing. What is a common technique for handling several sound entities and music playback in SFML? A separate thread for each sound and/or wrapping a sound class?

If this is your only problem, then just keep the musics alive :)
You can use a global music manager if you don't want to bother with sf::Music instances in your code.

Hi Laurent,

Actually my real problem is to output audio from FFmpeg... honestly, I don't know where to start. Did you plan on extending this tutorial?

I didn't write this tutorial. And I have no idea how to handle sound with FFmpeg, sorry.
