Header: audio.hpp

Declaration

inline bool audio_initialize(const AudioClip* clips,size_t count)

Performs `audio initialize` as part of SPU sound playback and voice ownership.

Parameter	Type	Meaning
`clips`	`const AudioClip *`	Value supplied for clips. Keep referenced or pointed-to data valid for the complete call.
`count`	`size_t`	Value supplied for count. Keep referenced or pointed-to data valid for the complete call.

Returns: bool. Check the value before continuing when it represents success, availability or a resource handle.

Example

C++ example

#include "audio.hpp"

// Assume these named values have been initialized with valid data:
// const AudioClip * clips
// size_t count

auto result = epok::audio_initialize(clips, count);

Why use it

The boolean result makes success, availability or state explicit without exceptions. The API exposes the hardware service without hiding latency or bounded memory.

Trade-offs and warnings

Check the return value; `false` is part of normal control flow for many PSX resource operations. Treat device absence, busy state and I/O failure as expected outcomes; do not block the frame loop waiting for hardware. Pointer/reference arguments are borrowed unless the source contract says otherwise; keep them valid for the complete operation and never assume null is accepted.
