Music Playback Methods

[Retlaf]

I was wondering if methods exist which perform the following:

A) Fast-forwards the current BGM by a particular amount.
B) Returns your time into the current BGM (ie, 1 minute and 30 seconds in).

If these methods don't exist, does anybody know of any workarounds?

1) No. Myself and a few others are working on Audio modules that will allow us to do that.

2) Yes, but requires some work. Something like:

module Audio
  class << self
    alias_method :seph_audioduration_audio_pbgm, :play_bgm
    alias_method :seph_audioduration_audio_update, :update
    @bgm_duration = 0
    def play_bgm(*args)
      seph_audioduration_audio_pbgm(*args)
      @bgm_duration = 0
    end
    def update
      seph_audioduration_audio_update
      @bgm_duration += 1
    end
    def bgm_duration
      return @bgm_duration
    end
  end
end

Insert that code. You should be able to just use Audio.bgm_duration and it will tell you how many frames an audio track has been played.

So would it be possible to get ogm-like looping without wasting tons of resources checking the frames?
