History

#1 Updated by skyjake about 6 years ago

  • Subject changed from OGG/FLAC custom loop targs to OGG/FLAC custom loop tags

#2 Updated by skyjake about 5 years ago

  • Target version changed from 2.3.x to 2.3

#3 Updated by skyjake about 5 years ago

Did some research. It appears the loop tags should be easy to parse from the .ogg file (UTF-8 strings in the comments), however the playback aspect is a bit trickier.
  • FMOD has support for setting loop start/end by sample. It is unclear if the sound plays from the beginning and then continues looping within the range — should try it out.
  • SDL_mixer does not support looping. There is a custom fork called SDL Mixer X that adds support for looping. It would be preferable to use the original SDL_mixer and decode the Ogg audio manually using libvorbis, for instance.
