| 16 | <h1>Seeking</h1> |
|---|
| 17 | <p>Seeking functions allow you to specify a specific point in the stream to begin or continue decoding. |
|---|
| 18 | <p> |
|---|
| 19 | All libvorbisfile seeking routines are declared in "vorbis/vorbisfile.h". |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | <p>Certain seeking functions are best suited to different situations. |
|---|
| 22 | When speed is important and exact positioning isn't required, |
|---|
| 23 | page-level seeking should be used. Note also that Vorbis files do not |
|---|
| 24 | necessarily start at a sample number or time offset of zero. Do not |
|---|
| 25 | be surprised if a file begins at a positive offset of several minutes |
|---|
| 26 | or hours, such as would happen if a large stream (such as a concert |
|---|
| 27 | recording) is chopped into multiple separate files. Requesting to |
|---|
| 28 | seek to a position before the beginning of such a file will seek to |
|---|
| 29 | the position where audio begins. |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | <p>As of vorbisfile version 1.68, seeking also optionally provides |
|---|
| 32 | automatic crosslapping to eliminate clicks and other discontinuity |
|---|
| 33 | artifacts at seeking boundaries. This fetaure is of particular |
|---|
| 34 | interest to player and game developers implementing dynamic music and |
|---|
| 35 | audio engines, or others looking for smooth transitions within a |
|---|
| 36 | single sample or across multiple samples.<p> |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | <p>Naturally, seeking is available only within a seekable file or |
|---|
| 39 | stream. Seeking functions will return <tt>OV_ENOSEEK</tt> on |
|---|
| 40 | nonseekable files and streams. |
