WIKI Datatypes library error
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2014 10:51 pm
I was looking at the documentation WIKI and found an error. In the Datatypes Library documentation there is an example named "A Simple Datatypes Example" which contains the folowing comments:
/* Let the 8svx sound finish playing. Currently there is */
/* no programmatic way to find out when it is finished playing. */
That information is wrong. You can use SDTA_SignalTask and SDTA_SignalBit to receive a signal from Datatypes when the sound has finished playing. It's a minor error but should either be replaced with comments explaining that signaling can be used to detect sound play completion or include the signaling in the example.
