What us StreamingSoundData

[bq-wrongway]

Hi,
I was wondering what streaming sound data is?
Like staticsounddata it has fn to read from file, i think that streaming sound data just uses some buffer or stream,while static one loads the whole file in memory?
Meaning if i want to play 5 sounds at same time,i would need to load 5 tracks to memory.
Docs say this about streamingsounddata

A streaming sound that is not playing yet.

Not super descriptive,i would really appreciate more info or tips about it,and when to use what.

Thank you for your work !

The sound module has a bit more information, but I agree that there could be more discussion about when to use which type of sound.

StaticSoundData is more suited to short sounds, sounds you'll play multiple times, and sounds that need to be played with precise timing. StreamingSoundData is more suited to long sounds that you'll play one of, like background music.

Thanks, this does answer my question.

I did not manage to find any example for streaming data sound, im kinda struggling with it but i think thats out of scope. Thank you
