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

     39 <h3>Parameters</h3>
     40 <dl>
     41 <dt><i>vf</i></dt>
     42 <dd>A pointer to the OggVorbis_File structure--this is used for ALL the externally visible vorbisfile
     43 functions.</dd>
     44 <dt><i>pcm_channels</i></dt>
     45 <dd>A pointer to an output buffer.  The pointer will be set to the decoded output buffer.</dd>
     46 <dt><i>samples</i></dt>
     47 <dd>Maximum number of decoded samples to produce.</dd>
     48 <dt><i>bitstream</i></dt>
     49 <dd>A pointer to the number of the current logical bitstream.</dd>
     50 </dl>

     53 <h3>Return Values</h3>
     54 <blockquote>
     55 <dl>
     56 <dt>OV_HOLE</dt>
     57   <dd>indicates there was an interruption in the data.
     58       <br>(one of: garbage between pages, loss of sync followed by
     59            recapture, or a corrupt page)</dd>
     60 <dt>OV_EBADLINK</dt>
     61   <dd>indicates that an invalid stream section was supplied to
     62       libvorbisfile, or the requested link is corrupt.</dd>
     63 <dt>OV_EINVAL</dt>
     64   <dd>indicates the initial file headers couldn't be read or
     65       are corrupt, or that the initial open call for <i>vf</i> 
     66       failed.</dd>
     67 <dt>0</dt>
     68   <dd>indicates EOF</dd>
     69 <dt><i>n</i></dt>
     70   <dd>indicates actual number of samples read.  <tt>ov_read_float()</tt> will
     71       decode at most one vorbis packet per invocation, so the value
     72       returned will generally be less than <tt>length</tt>.
     73 </dl>
     74 </blockquote>
     75 
     76 <h3>Notes</h3>
     77 <p><b>Typical usage:</b>
     78 <blockquote>
     79 <tt>float **pcm;
     80 samples_read = ov_read_float(&amp;vf,pcm, 1024, &amp;current_section)</tt>
     81 </blockquote>
     82 
     83 This decodes up to 1024 float samples.
