public class Library
extends java.lang.Object

The Library class is the class from which all library types are extended. It provides generic methods for interfacing with the audio libraries supported by the SoundSystem. Specific libraries should extend this class and override the necessary methods. For consistant naming conventions, each sub-class should have the name prefix "Library". This class may also be used as the "No Sound Library" (i.e. silent mode) if no other audio libraries are supported by the host machine, or to mute all sound.

1) You may not falsely claim to be the author of this library or any unmodified portion of it.
2) You may not copyright this library or a modified version of it and then sue me for copyright infringement.
3) If you modify the source code, you must clearly document the changes made before redistributing the modified source code, so other users know it is not the original code.
4) You are not required to give me credit for this library in any derived work, but if you do, you must also mention my website: http://www.paulscode.com
5) I the author will not be responsible for any damages (physical, financial, or otherwise) caused by the use if this library or any part of it.

fadeOutIn

public void fadeOutIn(java.lang.String sourcename,
                      FilenameURL filenameURL,
                      long milisOut,
                      long milisIn)

Fades out the volume of whatever the specified source is currently playing, then fades the volume back in playing the specified file. Final volume after fade-in completes will be equal to the source's previously assigned volume level. The filenameURL parameter may not be null or empty. The miliseconds parameters must be non-negative or zero. This method will remove anything that is currently in the specified source's list of queued sounds that would have played next when the current sound finished playing. This method may only be used for streaming and MIDI sources.

Parameters:

sourcename - Name of the source to fade out/in.

filenameURL - Filename/URL of the sound file to play next, or null for none.

milisOut - Number of miliseconds the fadeout should take.

milisIn - Number of miliseconds the fadein should take.

checkFadeVolumes

public void checkFadeVolumes()

Makes sure the current volume levels of streaming sources and MIDI are correct. This method is designed to help reduce the "jerky" fading behavior that happens when using some library and codec pluggins (such as LibraryJavaSound and CodecJOrbis). This method has no effect on normal "non-streaming" sources. It would normally be called somewhere in the main "game loop". IMPORTANT: To optimize frame-rates, do not call this method for every frame. It is better to just call this method at some acceptable "granularity" (play around with different granularities to find what sounds acceptable for a particular situation).

loadMidi

public void loadMidi(boolean toLoop,
                     java.lang.String sourcename,
                     FilenameURL filenameURL)

Loads the specified MIDI file, and saves the source information about it.

Parameters:

toLoop - Midi file should loop or play once.

sourcename - Source identifier.

filenameURL - Filename/URL of the MIDI file to load.

unloadMidi

public void unloadMidi()
