I integrated MiniAudio into an open source engine, Open 3D Engine :)

Hi, folks!

I'm an engineer who works with Open 3D Engine https://www.o3de.org/.
Here is my contribution to spreading the use of MiniAudio: https://github.com/AMZN-Olex/MiniAudioO3DE

I am using this integration in my own side project: https://twitter.com/amzn_olex/status/1579314807068819457

Thanks for the work on MiniAudio! It was a pleasure to integrate it and learn the basics of it.

Nice! I'm always interested to see how people are using miniaudio. Was it mostly pain-free? I'm always interested in feedback if you ever have any. I'm also interested in integrating miniaudio into open source game/engine projects mainly just to give it some real-world testing. So far I've only done Quake 2, but want to do more!

What does O3DE use for it's audio system by default out of curiosity?

Wwise has been long integrated into O3DE, which comes with a suite of tools to configure the sounds effects and so on. I think it took me about 2 days to get the first sound working with MiniAudio, despite going for a complicated scenario of loading the sound data from memory to match the engine's pipeline, so I count that as a win - a speedy integration!

My current struggles is to make sense of distance attenuation. I am not a sound engineer so figuring out exactly what min/max distance is for different attenuation modes has been mostly guesswork and poking in the dark.
