<h1>ov_read_float()</h1>

<p><i>declared in "vorbis/vorbisfile.h";</i></p>

<p>
   This is the function used to decode a Vorbis file within a loop, but
   returns samples in native float format instead of in integer formats.
</p><p>
   For more information on how ov_read_float() deals with the complex issues 
   of chaining, etc, refer to the documentation for <a href="ov_read.html">ov_read()</a>.
</p>

</b></pre>
	</td>

<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><i>vf</i></dt>
<dd>A pointer to the OggVorbis_File structure--this is used for ALL the externally visible vorbisfile
functions.</dd>
<dt><i>pcm_channels</i></dt>
<dd>A pointer to an output buffer.  The pointer will be set to the decoded output buffer.</dd>
<dt><i>bitstream</i></dt>
<dd>A pointer to the number of the current logical bitstream.</dd>
</dl>


<h3>Return Values</h3>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt>OV_HOLE</dt>
  <dd>indicates there was an interruption in the data.
      <br>(one of: garbage between pages, loss of sync followed by
           recapture, or a corrupt page)</dd>
<dt>OV_EBADLINK</dt>
  <dd>indicates that an invalid stream section was supplied to
      libvorbisfile, or the requested link is corrupt.</dd>
<dt>0</dt>
  <dd>indicates EOF</dd>
<dt><i>n</i></dt>
  <dd>indicates actual number of bytes read.  <tt>ov_read()</tt> will
      decode at most one vorbis packet per invocation, so the value
      returned will generally be less than <tt>length</tt>.
</dl>
</blockquote>

<h3>Notes</h3>
<p><b>Typical usage:</b>
<blockquote>
<tt>float **pcm;
bytes_read = ov_read_float(&amp;vf,pcm,&amp;current_section)</tt>
</blockquote>

This decodes one packets worth of float samples.
