Simple Looping

Shows one way to handle looping of a sound.

This example uses a decoder as the data source. Decoders can be used with the ma_data_source API which, conveniently, supports looping via the ma_data_source_read_pcm_frames() API. To use it, all you need to do is pass a pointer to the decoder straight into ma_data_source_read_pcm_frames() and it will just work.

void data_callback(ma_device* pDevice, void* pOutput, const void* pInput, ma_uint32 frameCount)
{
    ma_decoder* pDecoder = (ma_decoder*)pDevice->pUserData;
    if (pDecoder == NULL) {
        return;
    }

    /* Reading PCM frames will loop based on what we specified when called ma_data_source_set_looping(). */
    ma_data_source_read_pcm_frames(pDecoder, pOutput, frameCount, NULL);

    (void)pInput;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    ma_result result;
    ma_decoder decoder;
    ma_device_config deviceConfig;
    ma_device device;

    if (argc < 2) {
        printf("No input file.\n");
        return -1;
    }

    result = ma_decoder_init_file(argv[1], NULL, &decoder);
    if (result != MA_SUCCESS) {
        return -2;
    }

    /*
    A decoder is a data source which means we just use ma_data_source_set_looping() to set the
    looping state. We will read data using ma_data_source_read_pcm_frames() in the data callback.

    ma_data_source_set_looping(&decoder, MA_TRUE);

    deviceConfig = ma_device_config_init(ma_device_type_playback);
    deviceConfig.playback.format   = decoder.outputFormat;
