Sound engine about three-d HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi. Thanks a lot! :) And great you want to use three-d.

No work has gone into audio I'm afraid, basically I know very little about audio, but I think it would be immensely cool and definitely should be supported at some point. If you want to add audio support please go ahead and do so, it will be greatly appreciated. I will of course assist as much as possible. Otherwise I will try to do it at some point but I don't know when I have the time.

Also if you make something with three-d please share it if you want and can :)

Thanks for the answer!

For what is worth I gave a shot at translating the MDN example about audio spatialization using the bindings made available by wasm-bindgen and it seems to work great. The only tricky part for web is that Chrome forbid to add audio to a web page prior to an user action. But since I have a html UI made with Yew this is fairly trivial to do. I just create the 3d renderer and audio stuff once the user clicked on a button that starts the whole thing.

It might be a bit more difficult on desktop as there is no de-facto API. After a quick look at crates.io, Ambisonic which add features on top of Rodio might be the best bet for a pure Rust solution. Alternatives would be using a wrapper of OpenAL (for instance alto ) or FMOD Rust wrapper. Their quality as well as their features set might need to be analyzed in details to make sure the audio is somewhat consistent between the Web and native.

That sounds surprisingly simple. Great you got it to work and thanks for sharing your experience. I'm not yet sure what to do, maybe it is better to leave audio out of three-d or maybe it is better make a simple support to make it easy for people to add audio. If choosing the latter it will be an optional dependency for desktop and wasm-bindgen for web as you also suggest.

As I can move on with my current solution I will close the issue. If I got something to showcase or anything meaningful to say I will post it here. Thanks again for the help!
