Function sdl2_sys::SDL_ClearQueuedAudio

pub unsafe extern "C" fn SDL_ClearQueuedAudio(dev: SDL_AudioDeviceID)

Drop any queued audio data. For playback devices, this is any queued data still waiting to be submitted to the hardware. For capture devices, this is any data that was queued by the device that hasn't yet been dequeued by the application.

Immediately after this call, SDL_GetQueuedAudioSize() will return 0. For playback devices, the hardware will start playing silence if more audio isn't queued. Unpaused capture devices will start filling the queue again as soon as they have more data available (which, depending on the state of the hardware and the thread, could be before this function call returns!).

This will not prevent playback of queued audio that's already been sent to the hardware, as we can not undo that, so expect there to be some fraction of a second of audio that might still be heard. This can be useful if you want to, say, drop any pending music during a level change in your game.

You may not queue audio on a device that is using an application-supplied callback; calling this function on such a device is always a no-op. You have to queue audio with SDL_QueueAudio()/SDL_DequeueAudio(), or use the audio callback, but not both.

You should not call SDL_LockAudio() on the device before clearing the queue; SDL handles locking internally for this function.

This function always succeeds and thus returns void.

\param dev The device ID of which to clear the audio queue.
