SDL_HINT_WAVE_TRUNCATION

Controls how a truncated WAVE file is handled.

Header File

Defined in SDL_hints.h

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_WAVE_TRUNCATION   "SDL_WAVE_TRUNCATION"

Remarks

A WAVE file is considered truncated if any of the chunks are incomplete or the data chunk size is not a multiple of the block size. By default, SDL decodes until the first incomplete block, as most applications seem to do.

This variable can be set to the following values:

• "verystrict": Raise an error if the file is truncated
• "strict": Like "verystrict", but the size of the RIFF chunk is ignored
• "dropframe": Decode until the first incomplete sample frame
• "dropblock": Decode until the first incomplete block (default)
