lovr.audio

The lovr.audio module is responsible for playing sound effects and music. Currently, the only supported audio format is .ogg (Vorbis). Playing a sound involves creating a Source object for the sound and calling Source:play on it.

Sources

Sources are objects that represent a single sound instance.

lovr.audio.newSource	Create a new Source.
lovr.audio.pause	Pause all Sources.
lovr.audio.stop	Stop all Sources.
lovr.audio.update	Updates the audio system.

Listener

The listener is a virtual object in 3D space that "hears" all the sounds that are playing. The listener can be positioned and oriented in 3D space, which controls how Sources in the world are heard. For example, sounds further away from the listener will be more quiet, and sounds to the left of the listener will be heard from the left speaker. By default, the listener will be synchronized with any connected headset so audio is positioned properly as the headset is moved around and rotated.
