## NAME

SDL::Mixer::MixChunk -- SDL Bindings for structure SDL\_MixChunk

## CATEGORY

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use SDL;
 use SDL::Mixer::MixChunk;
 my $mix_chunk = SDL::Mixer::Music::load_WAV('sample.wav');
 printf("length of audio data is %d bytes\n", $mix_chunk->alen);
 printf("volume is %d\n",                     $mix_chunk->volume);
```

## DESCRIPTION
