◆ RegisterCodec()

AKSOUNDENGINE_API AKRESULT AK::SoundEngine::RegisterCodec ( AkUInt32  in_ulCompanyID,
AkUInt32  in_ulCodecID,
AkCreateFileSourceCallback  in_pFileCreateFunc,
AkCreateBankSourceCallback  in_pBankCreateFunc 
)

Registers a codec type with the sound engine and set the callback functions to create the codec's file source and bank source nodes.

Note: This function is deprecated. Registration is now automatic if you link plugins statically. If plugins are dynamic libraries (such as DLLs or SOs), use RegisterPluginDLL.

Returns
  • AK_Success if successful
  • AK_InvalidParameter if invalid parameters were provided
  • AK_InsufficientMemory if there isn't enough memory to register the plug-in
Remarks
Codecs and plug-ins must be registered before loading banks that use them.
Loading a bank referencing an unregistered plug-in or codec will result in a load bank success, but the plug-ins will not be used. More specifically, playing a sound that uses an unregistered effect plug-in will result in audio playback without applying the said effect. If an unregistered source plug-in is used by an event's audio objects, posting the Event will fail.
Parameters
in_ulCompanyIDCompany identifier (as declared in the plug-in description XML file)
in_ulCodecIDCodec identifier (as declared in the plug-in description XML file)
in_pFileCreateFuncPointer to the codec's file source node creation function
in_pBankCreateFuncPointer to the codec's bank source node creation function
