Method Detail

isCreated

public static boolean isCreated()

Returns:

true if AL has been created

create

public static void create(java.lang.String deviceArguments,
                          int contextFrequency,
                          int contextRefresh,
                          boolean contextSynchronized)
                   throws LWJGLException

Creates an OpenAL instance. Using this constructor will cause OpenAL to open the device using supplied device argument, and create a context using the context values supplied.

Parameters:

deviceArguments - Arguments supplied to native device

contextFrequency - Frequency for mixing output buffer, in units of Hz (Common values include 11025, 22050, and 44100).

contextRefresh - Refresh intervalls, in units of Hz.

contextSynchronized - Flag, indicating a synchronous context.*

Throws:

LWJGLException

create

public static void create(java.lang.String deviceArguments,
                          int contextFrequency,
                          int contextRefresh,
                          boolean contextSynchronized,
                          boolean openDevice)
                   throws LWJGLException

Parameters:

openDevice - Whether to automatically open the device

Throws:

LWJGLException

create(String, int, int, boolean)

create

public static void create()
                   throws LWJGLException

Creates an OpenAL instance. The empty create will cause OpenAL to open the default device, and create a context using default values. This method used to use default values that the OpenAL implementation chose but this produces unexpected results on some systems; so now it defaults to 44100Hz mixing @ 60Hz refresh.

Throws:

LWJGLException

destroy

public static void destroy()

Exit cleanly by calling destroy.

getContext

public static ALCcontext getContext()

Returns:

handle to the default AL context.

getDevice

public static ALCdevice getDevice()

Returns:

handle to the default AL device.
