Chris@1 20 <p>
Chris@1 21 This is the main function used to decode a Vorbis file within a
Chris@1 22 loop. It returns up to the specified number of bytes of decoded PCM audio
Chris@1 23 in the requested endianness, signedness, and word size. If the audio is
Chris@1 24 multichannel, the channels are interleaved in the output buffer.
Chris@1 25 If the passed in buffer is large, <tt>ov_read()</tt> will not fill
Chris@1 26 it; the passed in buffer size is treated as a <em>limit</em> and
Chris@1 27 not a request.
Chris@1 28
Chris@1 29 <p>The output channels are in stream order and not remapped. Vorbis I
Chris@1 30 defines channel order as follows:
Chris@1 31
Chris@1 32 <ul>
Chris@1 33 <li>one channel - the stream is monophonic
Chris@1 34 <li>two channels - the stream is stereo. channel order: left, right
Chris@1 35 <li>three channels - the stream is a 1d-surround encoding. channel order: left,
Chris@1 36 center, right
Chris@1 37 <li>four channels - the stream is quadraphonic surround. channel order: front left,
Chris@1 38 front right, rear left, rear right
Chris@1 39 <li>five channels - the stream is five-channel surround. channel order: front left,
Chris@1 40 center, front right, rear left, rear right
Chris@1 41 <li>six channels - the stream is 5.1 surround. channel order: front left, center,
Chris@1 42 front right, rear left, rear right, LFE
Chris@1 43 <li>seven channels - the stream is 6.1 surround. channel order: front left, center,
Chris@1 44 front right, side left, side right, rear center, LFE
Chris@1 45 <li>eight channels - the stream is 7.1 surround. channel order: front left, center,
Chris@1 46 front right, side left, side right, rear left, rear right,
Chris@1 47 LFE
Chris@1 48 <li>greater than eight channels - channel use and order is undefined
Chris@1 49 </ul>
Chris@1 50
Chris@1 51 <p>Note that up to this point, the Vorbisfile API could more or less hide the
Chris@1 52 multiple logical bitstream nature of chaining from the toplevel
Chris@1 53 application if the toplevel application didn't particularly care.
Chris@1 54 However, when reading audio back, the application must be aware
Chris@1 55 that multiple bitstream sections do not necessarily use the same
Chris@1 56 number of channels or sampling rate. <p> <tt>ov_read()</tt> passes
Chris@1 57 back the index of the sequential logical bitstream currently being
Chris@1 58 decoded (in <tt>*bitstream</tt>) along with the PCM data in order
Chris@1 59 that the toplevel application can handle channel and/or sample
Chris@1 60 rate changes. This number will be incremented at chaining
Chris@1 61 boundaries even for non-seekable streams. For seekable streams, it
Chris@1 62 represents the actual chaining index within the physical bitstream.

Chris@1 76 <h3>Parameters</h3>
Chris@1 77 <dl>
Chris@1 78 <dt><i>vf</i></dt>
Chris@1 79 <dd>A pointer to the OggVorbis_File structure--this is used for ALL the externally visible libvorbisfile
Chris@1 80 functions.</dd>
Chris@1 81 <dt><i>buffer</i></dt>
Chris@1 82 <dd>A pointer to an output buffer. The decoded output is inserted into this buffer.</dd>
Chris@1 83 <dt><i>length</i></dt>
Chris@1 84 <dd>Number of bytes to be read into the buffer. Should be the same size as the buffer. A typical value is 4096.</dd>
Chris@1 85 <dt><i>bigendianp</i></dt>
Chris@1 86 <dd>Specifies big or little endian byte packing. 0 for little endian, 1 for b
Chris@1 87 ig endian. Typical value is 0.</dd>
Chris@1 88 <dt><i>word</i></dt>
Chris@1 89 <dd>Specifies word size. Possible arguments are 1 for 8-bit samples, or 2 or
Chris@1 90 16-bit samples. Typical value is 2.</dd>
Chris@1 91 <dt><i>sgned</i></dt>
Chris@1 92 <dd>Signed or unsigned data. 0 for unsigned, 1 for signed. Typically 1.</dd>
Chris@1 93 <dt><i>bitstream</i></dt>
Chris@1 94 <dd>A pointer to the number of the current logical bitstream.</dd>
Chris@1 95 </dl>

Chris@1 98 <h3>Return Values</h3>
Chris@1 99 <blockquote>
Chris@1 100 <dl>
Chris@1 101 <dt>OV_HOLE</dt>
Chris@1 102 <dd>indicates there was an interruption in the data.
Chris@1 103 <br>(one of: garbage between pages, loss of sync followed by
Chris@1 104 recapture, or a corrupt page)</dd>
Chris@1 105 <dt>OV_EBADLINK</dt>
Chris@1 106 <dd>indicates that an invalid stream section was supplied to
Chris@1 107 libvorbisfile, or the requested link is corrupt.</dd>
Chris@1 108 <dt>OV_EINVAL</dt>
Chris@1 109 <dd>indicates the initial file headers couldn't be read or
Chris@1 110 are corrupt, or that the initial open call for <i>vf</i>
Chris@1 111 failed.</dd>
Chris@1 112 <dt>0</dt>
Chris@1 113 <dd>indicates EOF</dd>
Chris@1 114 <dt><i>n</i></dt>
Chris@1 115 <dd>indicates actual number of bytes read. <tt>ov_read()</tt> will
Chris@1 116 decode at most one vorbis packet per invocation, so the value
Chris@1 117 returned will generally be less than <tt>length</tt>.
Chris@1 118 </dl>
Chris@1 119 </blockquote>
Chris@1 120
Chris@1 121 <h3>Notes</h3>
Chris@1 122 <p><b>Typical usage:</b>
Chris@1 123 <blockquote>
Chris@1 124 <tt>bytes_read = ov_read(&amp;vf,
Chris@1 125 buffer, 4096,0,2,1,&amp;current_section)</tt>
Chris@1 126 </blockquote>
Chris@1 127
Chris@1 128 This reads up to 4096 bytes into a buffer, with signed 16-bit
Chris@1 129 little-endian samples.
