LittleKt supports two ways of playing audio. The first way is loading an AudioClip into memory and playing it. The other is using an AudioStream to stream and play an audio file.
AudioClip
An AudioClip is meant for playing audio files short in duration that can be quickly loaded into memory. These are usually a few seconds or shorter. We can trigger an AudioClip multiple times if needed to play the same audio very quickly.
Load and play an audio clip:
val clip: AudioClip = resourcesVfs["my_audio.wav"].readAudioClip()
clip.play(volume = 1f, loop = false)
Setting the volume or loop parameter on the play method will set the clip to the current volume and loop. We can also play a clip just by calling play() with out and parameters and it will default to the current volume and looping state.
We can adjust the volume and looping as well:
val clip: AudioClip = resourcesVfs["my_audio.wav"].readAudioClip()
clip.volume = 0.5f // must be between 0 and 1. 1 being the max
clip.looping = true
Pausing/resuming and stopping a clip:
val clip: AudioClip = resourcesVfs["my_audio.wav"].readAudioClip()
clip.pause()
clip.resume() // resumes from last position
clip.stop() // resets to beginning of the clip
