Description:   Opened: 2005-11-10 19:06
Example: Pressing the mouse will not re-trigger the sound. If mySound.stop
is called on mouseReleased() the sound will play again on mousePressed.

//

PSound mySound;

void setup() {
mySound = loadSound("arigato.wav");
}

void draw() { }

void mousePressed() {
mySound.play();
}

can you use "archive sketch" and attach a copy of the example sketch to the
bug? extra points if you also rename the sketch bug_208 :)

fixed in the repository for 0098. some api issues came up in the interim,
which i'll email you about.

I'm running the original example (the one attached) with v98 and the same
problem persists.

I've had something similar to this with 98 and 99, from within processing
the sounds play repeatedly fine, but when exported to a sketch/application
the sounds only play once.

This might be related, but when running the applet I get an error with
"Master Gain" which has been on the boards before. I think this might be
related, and would be a Java 1.5 issue. even if the applet is built with
the java included with processing, when run in a 1.5 JRE the error shows up.

Actually, as an addendum to the previous post, I've done a bit more
investigating as to why I was having problems with playing a sound a second
time, even though I was calling stop() then play().

What I was doing was starting playing the sound, waiting a frame, then
checking mySound.time(); to see how long had elapsed, and within
Processing, time becomes 0 when the sample has finished playing. However in
an applet, the time doesn't return to 0 when it's finished playing. This
may be just a consequence of a deeper rooted bug, or a cause of others, I'm
not sure which.

example code/data in attachment to this bug.

Output in Processing:

Frame: 1 Sound time: 0.0
Frame: 2 Sound time: 0.0
Frame: 3 Sound time: 0.069705
Frame: 4 Sound time: 0.069705
Frame: 5 Sound time: 0.139365
Frame: 6 Sound time: 0.139365
Frame: 7 Sound time: 0.209024
Frame: 8 Sound time: 0.278684
Frame: 9 Sound time: 0.278684
Frame: 10 Sound time: 0.348344
Frame: 11 Sound time: 0.0
Frame: 12 Sound time: 0.0
Frame: 13 Sound time: 0.0
Frame: 14 Sound time: 0.0

Output when an applet: (not including Master Gain stuff)
Frame: 1 Sound time: 0.0
Frame: 2 Sound time: 0.018548
Frame: 3 Sound time: 0.05365
Frame: 4 Sound time: 0.098594
Frame: 5 Sound time: 0.135691
Frame: 6 Sound time: 0.181587
Frame: 7 Sound time: 0.21873
Frame: 8 Sound time: 0.250929
Frame: 9 Sound time: 0.290975
Frame: 10 Sound time: 0.34077
Frame: 11 Sound time: 0.368163
Frame: 12 Sound time: 0.372743
Frame: 13 Sound time: 0.372743
Frame: 14 Sound time: 0.372743

As you can see, in processing the time returns to 0, but in an applet it
stops at the end time of the wav file.

yeah, that's prolly a java 1.4 vs java 1.5 issue with the applet stuff.

the status on this bug is that the PSound stuff needs to be ripped out and i have to start
over. there are too many incompatibilities between mac and pc as well as between java
releases. so i'll be looking to completely rework things.

PSound is a part of the current Processing API.
Additional Comment #10 From fry 2006-09-25 09:15
that should be is *not* a current part of the api ;-)
Additional Comment #11 From REAS 2006-09-25 10:22
Yes, what Ben said. PSound is not a part of the current Processing API.
