Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Just a stab in the dark here - Can anyone recommend any good opensource audio engines that would work with Windows and iPhone? I suppose I could just write a simple OpenAL wrapper, but I figured I would look for a more robust engine first...
*btw I have ZERO experience with audio programming on the iphone, but I am 99% sure it uses plain old OpenAL, so in theory any 'Windows' based OpenAL engine should work on iPhone as well, right?

That's what I do ... use Open AL for both.Zeal wrote:Just a stab in the dark here - Can anyone recommend any good opensource audio engines that would work with Windows and iPhone? I suppose I could just write a simple OpenAL wrapper, but I figured I would look for a more robust engine first...

There aren't a lot of choices when it comes to iPhone sound engines... I know some people who wrote their own mixers hooking up directly to low level iPhone OS audio APIs but mostly people just use Open AL.

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
I know OpenAL isnt super in depth, but I would still like to have some kind of wrapper for it. And I just dont have time to write my own. I was looking at...
http://deathtouchstudios.com/xoops/modu ... p?itemid=3
Assuming its plain old C and plain old openAL, that should work for both platforms right?

Yeah, I am pretty sure it will ... I wrote my own wrapper and it works out of the box on both Windows and the iPhone.Zeal wrote:I know OpenAL isnt super in depth, but I would still like to have some kind of wrapper for it. And I just dont have time to write my own. I was looking at...

The only thing you would need to do is to handle application interruption ...

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Can anyone recommend any other free openAL based engines/wrappers? I have been looking around all day and everything I have found is either 3+ years old, or looks solid but costs money (Bass, FMOD, ect...).
cAudio still looks like the best choice, but the forum is a ghost town...

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
I'm also about to look into audio for my iPhone game.
I use OgreOggSound in Project Utopia, and it's the best OpenAL wrapper for Ogre IMO. Though, perhaps it's too complex for the iPhone. So I'm going to use this as a starting point I think:

Wow that "OpenAl SoundManager" link you posted looks like a great place to start. Im gonna play around with it... let me know if you get it working on iPhone!

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
The only problem is that it uses alut, which is now deprecated. Apple also removed it from their OpenAL framework (but left the symbols in, so even if you tried compiling alut separately, you need to rename all the functions etc).
It shouldn't be too difficult to swap it out with a custom wav loader (which is all it's used for). Check out the OpenAL iPhone sample found in the Dev Center, that has some nice sample code of how to use the AudioToolbox framework with OpenAL, which when hooked up, can load a whole host of iPhone compatible formats.

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Hmm I am looking through the SoundManager source now.. are you saying we should be able to break this dependency on alut if we just remove some 'wav loader' functions? I dont care about wav (thats what ogg is for).It shouldn't be too difficult to swap it out with a custom wav loader (which is all it's used for).
*btw are we 100% sure ogg will work on iphone (would be really nice not to have to convert formats between platforms).

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Ah right, well if you don't need wav then just remove all the wav/alut stuff. The other end of the stick is that the wiki SoundManager looks like it hasn't fully implemented ogg playback, but it should be simple enough to get it working.Zeal wrote:Hmm I am looking through the SoundManager source now.. are you saying we should be able to break this dependency on alut if we just remove some 'wav loader' functions?

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Hmm have you ever built oggvorbis before? I downloaded both libogg and libvorbis from
http://xiph.org/downloads/
Ogg built just fine, but I had some trouble with libvorbis. It was bitching about some linker error with "_analysis_output_always". After some searching I found a guy saying to comment out this "_analysis_output_always" line in the vorbis.def file. Ok, whatever you say random guy on the internet. Anyway, it WORKED! So now libvorbis builds just fine (2 down 2 to go). However, every time I try and build libvorbisfile I get the following linker errors...
Gah why cant this ever be easy...

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Ok nm it was depending on libvorbis, so I had to build them in order. Now that libvorbisfile uses libcorbis.lib, it links fine. So one last one to go (libvorbisenc), and of course this project builds a exe not a dll.. what the hell...
According to the SoundManager build instructions we need FOUR oggvorbis dlls, one is the "vorbisenc.dll"...

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Don't bother with that, just stick with libvorbis and libvorbisfile. That's all I've ever had to use for OgreOggSound, OgreAL etc... And I would statically link it all.Zeal wrote:According to the SoundManager build instructions we need FOUR oggvorbis dlls, one is the "vorbisenc.dll"...

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Ah ok cool, I will try with just these.
An yeah I know i will have to build static libs for iphone, but i want to get this working on my windows box first.
BTW, will i get sound on the simulator? Dont have access to my test ipod touch atm...

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Well I tried to clear out all the 'wav' functions and references to alut, but I am getting some linker errors. I have the following libs...
OpenAL32.lib
libvorbisfile_static.lib
libvorbis_static.lib
libogg_static.lib
but get the following errors..
Maybe this is because I am not linking Alut or perhaps that 'libvorbisenc.lib' (whatever it is for)... Have you had any luck building this thing?

libvorbisfile_static.lib
libvorbis_static.lib
libogg_static.lib

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Spent the whole day getting this audio crap working, but finally did it. Ogg files now play on the device. (Not without problems though)
This helped, for when you get round to building it for the iPhone: (the 2nd option)
http://projectsymphony.blogspot.com/200 ... phone.html
I got it working with the beast that is OgreOggSound in the end, because that's the library I'm most familiar with. But I'm sure OgreAL and the wiki SoundManager will work as well.
Btw, those errors look like you're not actually linking OpenAL, so double check that.

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Hah of course thats the first thing I thought! But OpenAL32.lib was there.. but why oh why didnt it work... turns out I was trying to link to the 64 bit version (which of course is STILL called OpenAL32.lib just to screw with you). When I switched to 32 bit everything linked up just fine.Btw, those errors look like you're not actually linking OpenAL
Grats on getting it working! So youre using OgreOgg eh? Did you strip out the Alut dependencies? Was it hard? I THINK I got rid of all the alut dependencies in the SoundManager (the thing is linking ok without the alut.libs, so thats gotta be a good sign...).
*maybe I should take a second look at OgreOgg.. I dismissed it because it looked like (at a glance at least) that it had some tight couplings with Ogre. I dont want my audio engine to depend on scene nodes, ect...

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Ok I got cAudio working fine on my windows box, now I am ready to get this bad boy going on my mac/iphone. However, I took a look at that SDL_Mixer link you posted.... I am confused - what the hell is SDL_Mixer and why do I need it? I thought all I would need to do is build OpenAL32, and the ogg/vorbis libs...
Can you provide me with the exact steps you had to take to get oggs playing on your iphone (I assume it should be the same steps for me, I will just be replacing your OgreOgg with cAudio).

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
At the bottom of that post, you should follow the second option. All you have to do is download Cocos2d, compile their libvorbis target (Tremor) and you're away.

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Ah ok so the only part you wanted me to see was that 'cocos2d' part. The top half of that link can be ignored? Ok I built a "libvorbis.a" thanks to cocos2d (do we know what the licence is on this thing?).
But I still need to download and build OpenAL32 right? Did you use the "OpenAL 1.1 Core SDK" from...

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
For OpenAL, just add the OpenAL.framework which is included in the iPhone SDK. It's all prebuilt and ready to use.
When including, use e.g. #include <OpenAL/al.h>
The license is in the COPYING file in the Tremor source folder. Looks like a BSD-style license.

Re: Audio engine for Win & iPhone...
Ok this isnt looking good (building cAudio), I am getting hundreds of build errors (and I dont just mean 'cant find header x' errors). This thing clearly wasnt designed with mac/iphone in mind.
Soooo... you say you had good luck with OgreOgg? I guess I can deal with the whole 'tight ogre coupling', I just need to get this thing working.
Can you describe how you built OgreOgg? Is there a xcode project for it or did you make your own?
