Is there a way however to route a mono channel (or effect > output) to a particular speaker (no 3D) ? One way to do it would be to set the source property AL_SOURCE_RELATIVE to AL_TRUE and AL_REFERENCE_DISTANCE to 1. Then you can use the source's 3D position to set it where a speaker should be. Such as 0,0,-1, which would place the sound where the front-center speaker would be. Another way would be to make a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 buffer and place the mono data in one channel, leaving the others silent. This has the same benefit as above (input channels that are missing an output are virtualized) and it will work with the LFE channel, but those formats aren't always available. _______________________________________________ Openal mailing list [email protected] http://opensource.creative.com/mailman/listinfo/openal
