Function Reference

_SoundSeek

Seeks the sound to the specified position

#include <Sound.au3>
_SoundSeek ( ByRef $aSndID, $iHour, $iMin, $iSec )

Parameters

$aSndID Sound ID array as returned by _SoundOpen()
$iHour Hour to seek to
$iMin Minute to seek to
$iSec Second to seek to

Return Value

Success: 1.
Failure: 0 and sets the @error flag to non-zero.
@error: 1 = Failure
3 = Invalid Sound ID. Use return array from _SoundOpen().

Remarks

After using _SoundSeek() on a sound, _SoundPlay() must be used to resume playing.
The use of the ID array returned from _SoundOpen() is mandatory with this function to ensure that the file plays from the correct position regardless of encoding type.
The ID array should be updated by the function as the VBR timing correction factor may have been altered.
