A CD-ROM device is inferred from a mounted cdfs volume, so device 0 is 35 not necessarily the first CD-ROM device on the system. (Somewhat easy to fix 36 by useing the device name from the volume id's to reorder the volumes) 37 38 2. You can only open and control 1 CD-ROM device at a time. (Challenging to fix, 39 due to extensive code restructuring) 40 41 3. The status reported by SDL_CDStatus only changes to from CD_PLAYING to CD_STOPPED in 42 1-second intervals (because the audio is buffered in 1-second chunks) If 43 the audio data is less than 1 second, the remainder is filled with silence. 44 45 If you need to play sequences back-to-back that are less that 1 second long, 46 use the frame position to determine when to play the next sequence, instead 47 of SDL_CDStatus. 48 49 This may be possible to fix with a clever usage of the AudioUnit API. 50 51 4. When new volumes are inserted, our volume information is not updated. The only way 52 to refresh this information is to reinit the CD-ROM subsystem of SDL. To fix this, 53 one would probably have to fix point 1 above first, then figure out how to register 54 for a notification when new media is mounted in order to perform an automatic 55 rescan for cdfs volumes. 56 57 58 59 So, here comes a description of how this all works. 60 61 < Initializing > 62 63 To get things rolling, we have to locate mounted volumes that contain 64 audio (since nearly all Macs don't have analog audio-in on the sound card). 65 That's easy, since these volumes have a flag that indicates this special 66 filesystem. See DetectAudioCDVolumes() in CDPlayer.cpp for this code. 67 68 Next, we parse the invisible .TOC.plist in the root of the volume, which gets us 69 the track information (number, offset, length, leadout, etc). See ReadTOCData() in 70 CDPlayer.cpp for the skinny on this. 71 72 73 < The Playback Loop > 74 75 Now come the tricky parts. Let's start with basic audio playback. When a frame 76 range to play is requested, we must first find the .aiff files on the volume, 77 hopefully in the right order. Since these files all begin with a number "1 Audio Track", 78 etc, this is used to determine the correct track order. 79 80 Once all files are determined, we have to find what file corresponds to the start 81 and length parameter to SDL_SYS_CDPlay(). Again, this is quite simple by walking the 82 cdrom's track list. At this point, we also save the offset to the next track and frames 83 remaining, if we're going to have to play another file after the first one. See 84 GetFileForOffset() for this code. 85 86 At this point we have all info needed to start playback, so we hand off to the LoadFile() 87 function, which proceeds to do its magic and plays back the file. 88 89 When the file is finished playing, CompletionProc() is invoked, at which time we can 90 play the next file if the previously saved next track and frames remaining 91 indicates that we should. 92 93 94 < Magic > 95 96 OK, so it's not really magic, but since I don't fully understand all the hidden details it 97 seems like it to me ;-) The API's involved are the AudioUnit and AudioFile API's. These 98 appear to be an extension of CoreAudio for creating modular playback and f/x entities. 99 The important thing is that CPU usage is very low and reliability is very high. You'd 100 be hard-pressed to find a way to stutter the playback with other CPU-intensive tasks. 101 102 One part of this magic is that it uses multiple threads, which carries the usual potential 103 for disaster if not handled carefully. Playback currently requires 4 additional threads: 104 1. The coreaudio runloop thread 105 2. The coreaudio device i/o thread 106 3. The file streaming thread 107 4. The notification/callback thread 108 109 The first 2 threads are necessary evil - CoreAudio creates this no matter what the situation 110 is (even the SDL sound implementation creates theses suckers). The last two are are created 111 by us. 112 113 The file is streamed from disk using a threaded double-buffer approach. 114 This way, the high latency operation of reading from disk can be performed without interrupting 115 the real-time device thread (which amounts to avoiding dropouts). The device thread grabs the 116 buffer that isn't being read and sends it to the CoreAudio mixer where it eventually gets 117 to the sound card. 118 119 The device thread posts a notification when the file streaming thread is out of data. This 120 notification must be handled in a separate thread to avoid potential deadlock in the 121 device thread. That's where the notification thread comes in. This thread is signaled 122 whenever a notification needs to be processed, so another file can be played back if need be. 123 124 The API in CDPlayer.cpp contains synchronization because otherwise both the notification thread 125 and main thread (or another other thread using the SDL CD api) can potentially call it at the same time. 126 127 ************************************************************************************/ 128 129 130 #include "SDL_cdrom.h" 131 #include "../SDL_syscdrom.h" 132 133 #include "CDPlayer.h" 134 135 #define kErrorFakeDevice "Error: Cannot proceed since we're faking a CD-ROM device.
