Audio (v 2.32 versus v 2.1)

[fastrgv]

Attached is a WAV file that worked in 2.1 and not in 2.32.  More importantly, it was very painful for me to discover the problem.  If it is easily possible I would like to see a filename printed out before a failure exit message: invalid or unsupported file.  Thx. Rod

...well I guess it's not attached...too large

If your error handling is thorough, it would have been much more simple to narrow down where the problem is.

For example:

sf::SoundBuffer soundBuffer;
if (!soundBuffer.loadFromFile("sound.wav")
{
    std::cerr << "Could not load sound." << std::endl;
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
}

Or, if that isn't enough:

const std::string soundFilename{ "sound.wav " };
sf::SoundBuffer soundBuffer;
if (!soundBuffer.loadFromFile(soundFilename)
{
    std::cerr << "Could not load sound: " soundFilename << std::endl;
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
}

Yes, I'm working on that.

 I mainly wanted people to be aware that WAV files that used to be acceptable in earlier versions of SFML audio may not be now.  I've googled and found many queries about problems with WAV files and this may explain why.  My solution was to use sox to convert to OGG format.

There has already been a fix. Check out the latest master.

It's just certain wave files that caused trouble.

Thanks, good to hear that you have a fix already.  In case anyone is interested, here is a shortened version of the WAV file that gave me grief...

That's very good of you and I apologise if I sounded rude or harsh.
I was mainly responding to this part of your question:

it was very painful for me to discover the problem.  If it is easily possible I would like to see a filename printed out before a failure exit message: invalid or unsupported file.

and it was a suggestion for future

My error handling was indeed insufficient, mostly because I had never before had any problem with SFML, but also because the code in question is a neglected Ada binding on which I had spent minimal effort.  If anyone has the time to check it out, you can see the final result ... a 3D game called AdaGate (written almost completely in Ada):

What issue was that? Have I broken something with https://github.com/SFML/SFML/pull/1018 ?

[eXpl0it3r]

I don't think so. He is still using 2.3.2, so he doesn't have your fix.

[fastrgv]

...that is correct, I have not tried anything beyond 2.3.2 yet on my problem file.  Rod
