4.2.1 Mix_LoadWAV

Mix_Chunk *Mix_LoadWAV(char *file)

file

File name to load sample from.

Load file for use as a sample. This is actually Mix_LoadWAV_RW(SDL_RWFromFile(file, "rb"), 1). This can load WAVE, AIFF, RIFF, OGG, and VOC files.
Note: You must call SDL_OpenAudio before this. It must know the output characteristics so it can convert the sample for playback, it does this conversion at load time.

Returns: a pointer to the sample as a Mix_Chunk. NULL is returned on errors.

// load sample.wav in to sample Mix_Chunk *sample; sample=Mix_LoadWAV("sample.wav"); if(!sample) { printf("Mix_LoadWAV: %s\n", Mix_GetError()); // handle error }
