Package limn.sound

package limn.sound

Backend-neutral audio: an immutable PCM AudioClip (synthesized via AudioClip.tone(float, float, float) or decoded from WAV/OGG), played through the Sounds facade over the installed AudioEngine SPI. Mirrors limn.graphics.Images: the toolkit stays free of any audio library; the LWJGL backend supplies the OpenAL engine and the file decoder. The system alert beep is just an AudioClip.tone(...) played through this package.

Class	Description
AudioBus	A mixer bus: a named volume group every playback belongs to.
AudioClip	An immutable, backend-independent chunk of PCM audio: interleaved 16-bit signed samples, 1 (mono) or 2 (stereo) channels, at a given sample rate.
AudioDecoder	Decodes encoded audio bytes into an AudioClip.
AudioEngine	Service-provider interface for audio output, the sound counterpart of the Backend rendering SPI.
AudioStreamSource	A pull source of PCM frames for streamed playback: music and long ambience decoded incrementally instead of AudioClip-style all-at-once (a four minute track fully decoded is ~40 MB of heap; streamed it is a few hundred KB of ring buffers).
Playback	A handle to a sound that has started playing on the AudioEngine.
PlayOptions	How to play a sound: volume, pitch, stereo pan or 3D position, looping, mixer bus and voice-steal PlayOptions.Priority.
PlayOptions.Priority	Voice-steal class; see PlayOptions.priority.
Sounds	Audio facade, backed by the running backend's AudioEngine and AudioDecoder (both installed at startup, mirroring Images).
