OpenAL -is still in a stage of growth, and even though there is an ever larger following -to the API it still hasn't reached it's full potential. One of the big reasons -for this is that there is still not yet hardware acceleration built in for -specific cards. However, Creative Labs is a major contributor to the OpenAL -project and also happens to be one of the largest soundcard manufacturers. So -there is a promise of hardware accelerated features in the near future. OpenAL's -only other major contributor, Loki, has gone the way of the dinosaur. So the -future of OpenAL on Linux platforms is uncertain. You can still obtain the Linux -binaries on some more obscure websites.</p> -<p>OpenAL has also not been seen in many major -commercial products, which may have also hurt it's growth. As far as I know the -only pc game to use OpenAL has been Metal Gear 2 (although recently I've -discovered that Unreal 2 does as well). The popular modeling program, Blender3D, -was also known to use OpenAL for all it's audio playback. Aside from these -however the only other OpenAL uses have been in the sdk examples and a few -obscure tutorials on the internet.</p> -<p>But lets face it, OpenAL has a lot of -potential. There are many other audio libraries that claim to work with the -hardware on a lower level (and this may be true), but the designers of OpenAL -did several things in it's design which make it a superior API. First of all -they emulated the OpenGL API which is one of the best ever designed. The API -style is flexible, so different coding methods and hardware implementations will -take advantage of this. People who have had a lot of experience with OpenGL will -be able to pick up OpenAL quite fast. OpenAL also has the advantage of creating -3D surround sound which a lot of other API's cannot boast. On top of all of that -it also has the ability to extend itself into EAX and AC3 flawlessly. To my -knowledge no other audio library has that capability.</p> -<p>If you still haven't found a reason here to use -OpenAL then here's another. It's just cool. It's a nice looking API and will -integrate well into your code. You will be able to do many cool sound effects -with it. But before we do that we have to learn the basics.</p> - -<p>So let's get coding!</p> -<pre class=code><font color="#0000FF">import</font> net.java.games.joal.*; -<font color="#0000FF">import</font> net.java.games.joal.util.*; -<font color="#0000FF">import</font> java.io.*; -<font color="#0000FF">import</font> java.nio.ByteBuffer;</pre> -<pre class=code><font color="#0000FF">public</font> <font color="#0000FF">class</font> SingleStaticSource { - - <font color="#0000FF"><span class=codeComment>static</span></font><span class=codeComment> AL al = ALFactory.getAL(); - - <font color="#006600">// Buffers hold sound data.</font></span> - <font color="#0000FF">static int</font>[] buffer = new <font color="#0000FF">int</font>[1];; - -<span class=codeComment> <font color="#006600">// Sources are points emitting sound.</font></span> - <font color="#0000FF">static int</font>[] source = <font color="#0000FF">new</font> <font color="#0000FF">int</font>[1]; -</pre> -<p>Those familiar with OpenGL know that it uses "texture objects" (or "texture -names") to handle textures used by a program. OpenAL does a similar thing with -audio samples. There are essentially 3 kinds of objects in OpenAL. A buffer -which stores all the information about how a sound should be played and the -sound data itself, and a source which is a point in space that emits a sound. -It's important to understand that a source is not itself an audio sample. A -source only plays back sound data from a buffer bound to it. The source is also -given special properties like position and velocity. </p> -<p>The third object which I have not mentioned yet is the listener. There is -only one listener which represents where 'you' are, the user. The listener -properties along with the source properties determine how the audio sample will -be heard. For example their relative positions will determine the intensity of -the sound.</p> - -<pre class=code> -<span class=codeComment><font color="#006600"> // Position of the source sound.</font></span> -<font color="#0000FF"> static float</font>[] sourcePos = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f }; -<font color="#006600"> -<span class=codeComment> // Velocity of the source sound.</span></font> -<font color="#0000FF"> static float</font>[] sourceVel = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f }; - -<span class=codeComment> <font color="#006600">// Position of the listener.</font></span> - <font color="#0000FF">static float</font>[] listenerPos = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f }; - -<span class=codeComment> <font color="#006600">// Velocity of the listener.</font></span> - <font color="#0000FF">static float</font>[] listenerVel = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f }; - -<span class=codeComment> <font color="#006600">// Orientation of the listener.

These arrays are vector based Cartesian coordinates. You could easily - build a structure or class to do the same thing. In this example I used arrays - for simplicity.</p> -<p>Here we will create a function that loads all of our sound data from a file. -</p> -<pre class=code> <font color="#0000FF">static int</font> LoadALData() { - -<span class=codeComment> <font color="#006600">// variables to load into</font> - - <font color="#0000FF">int</font>[] format = <font color="#0000FF">new int</font>[1];<br> <font color="#0000FF">int</font>[] size = <font color="#0000FF">new int</font>[1];<br> ByteBuffer[] data = <font color="#0000FF">new</font> ByteBuffer[1];<br> <font color="#0000FF">int</font>[] freq = new <font color="#0000FF">int</font>[1]; - <font color="#0000FF">int</font>[] loop = new <font color="#0000FF">int</font>[1];<br></span> - <font color="#006600">// Load wav data into a buffer.</font> - al.alGenBuffers(1, buffer); - <span class=codeKeyword>if</span> (al.alGetError() != AL.AL_NO_ERROR) - <span class=codeKeyword> return</span> AL.AL_FALSE; - - ALut.alutLoadWAVFile("wavdata/FancyPants.wav", format, data, size, freq, loop); - al.alBufferData(buffer[0], format[0], data[0], size[0], freq[0]); - ALut.alutUnloadWAV(format[0],data[0],size[0],freq[0]); -</pre> -<p>The function 'alGenBuffers' will create the buffer objects and store them in -the variable we passed it. It's important to do an error check to make sure -everything went smoothly. There may be a case in which OpenAL could not generate -a buffer object due to a lack of memory. In this case it would set the error -bit.</p> -<p>The ALut is very helpful here. It opens up the file for us and gives us all - the information we need to create the buffer. And after we have attached all - this data to the buffer it will help use dispose of the data.

The -most important of these properties is the buffer it should use. This tells the -source which audio sample to playback. In this case we only have one so we bind -it. We also tell the source it's position and velocity which we defined earlier.</p> -<p>One more thing on 'alGenBuffers' and 'alGenSources'. In some example code I -have seen these functions will return an integer value for the number of -buffers/sources created. I suppose this was meant as an error checking feature -that was left out in a later version. If you see this done in other code don't -use it yourself.

Pressing 'q' will exit the program.</p> -<p>Well there it is. Your first delve into OpenAL. I hope it was made simple -enough for you. It may have been a little too simple for the 1337 h4X0r, but we -all got to start somewhere.
