I'm having a problem looping from an AudioSnippet in Minim. If I call loop() with a small value (i.e. snip.loop(1) or snip.loop(0) ) I get a continuing tiny fragment of sound playing at a regular interval -- it sounds like a tiny chunk from the looped audio. Looping anything more than three times, however (i.e. snip.loop(3) ) works fine. This occurs regardless of:

a) the location of the loop() call in the file
b) the length of the audio file
c) the length of the looped segment

The code below produces the error on my machine (just replace 'sample.wav' in the loadSnippet() call with a file longer than 1000ms).

What I would like to do is play specific short samples (or excerpts) from a longer AudioSnippet, *once through*. I have tried using cue() and then play() but I can't figure out a reliable way to trigger a pause() event at the desired end point of the sample.



import ddf.minim.signals.*;
import ddf.minim.*;
import ddf.minim.analysis.*;
import ddf.minim.effects.*;

Minim minim;
AudioSnippet snip;
int startPoint;
int endPoint;


void setup(){
 size(100,100);
 background(255);
 fill(0);
 
 minim = new Minim(this);
 snip= minim.loadSnippet("sample.wav");
 
 startPoint = 500;
 endPoint = 1000;
 
 snip.setLoopPoints(startPoint, endPoint);
 snip.loop(1);
}

void draw(){
 background(255);
 fill(0);
}

void stop(){
 minim.stop();
 snip.close();
 super.stop();
}


I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me out with this -- or point out another way to do what I'm trying to do.

Thanks.

In case it's useful to anyone else, using (snip.isPlaying() == false) in the draw() loop to trigger the next sample to play seems to actually be working so far...
