NAME

       SDL_HINT_AUDIO_DEVICE_STREAM_NAME - Specify an audio stream name for an audio device.

HEADER FILE

       Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       #define SDL_HINT_AUDIO_DEVICE_STREAM_NAME SDL_AUDIO_DEVICE_STREAM_NAME"

DESCRIPTION

       Some  audio  backends  (such  as PulseAudio) allow you to describe your audio stream. Among other things,
       this description might show up in a system control panel that lets the user adjust the volume on specific
       audio streams instead of using one giant master volume slider.

       This hints lets you transmit that information to the OS. The contents of this hint are used while opening
       an audio device. You should use a string that describes your what your program is playing ("audio stream"
       is probably sufficient in many cases, but this could be useful for something like "team chat" if you have
       a headset playing VoIP audio separately).

       Setting this to "" or leaving it unset will  have  SDL  use  a  reasonable  default:  "audio  stream"  or
       something similar.

       Note  that while this talks about audio streams, this is an OS-level concept, so it applies to a physical
       audio device in this case, and not an

       SDL_AudioStream , nor an SDL logical audio device.

       This hint should be set before an audio device is opened.

AVAILABILITY

       This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
