JoeyLib Sound Functions

At the moment, JoeyLib supports music in the Amiga MOD format. This may change to MIDI with instrument samples. Stay tuned!

jlSoundIsPlaying

bool jlSoundIsPlaying(jlSoundT *sound);

Returns true if sound is currently playing on any channel.

jlSoundLoad

bool jlSoundLoad(jlSoundT sound, char *filename);

void jlSoundMusicContinue(void);

Resumes music playback if it was previously paused.

jlSoundMusicPause

void jlSoundMusicPause(void);

Pauses the music if it is currently being played.

jlSoundMusicStop

void jlSoundMusicStop(void);

Stops any currently playing music and releases the memory it occupied.

jlSoundPlay

void jlSoundPlay(jlSoundT *sound);
