Re: Alshort, and buffer samples order.

Hi,

-Does an ALshort work exactly in the same way as a short?

I think so - is there something specific you are concerned about?  Note :
the endian-ness will determined by the host platform.  If you are on
Windows PC ALshorts will be little-endian.  This applies to audio data as
well.  So, for example, you would need to swap bytes around if you were to
play a standard PC wave file on the Xbox 360 AL implementation.

-In wich way does alcCaptureSamples sort the samples positions in the
array?

The oldest samples recorded will be at the start of the array and newer
samples adding to the end (unless there is a wrap-around*).  In other
words, playing the samples from the beginning of the array to the end will
re-play the recording.  I think all platforms should follow the pattern
Left, Right, Left, Right, ... for the order of the samples if you are
recording a stereo format.

*A wrap-around may occur if the calling application does not consume
samples from the capture buffer fast enough and the AL implementation has
implemented a circular buffer to store audio samples from the recording
source.

Hi,

I think these are very obvious questions, but I would like to be completely
sure about them.

-Does an ALshort work exactly in the same way as a short?

-In wich way does alcCaptureSamples sort the samples positions in the
array?
The first position should be for the first thing you hear, shouldn't it?

Thanks in advance
