/*
Demonstrates one way to chain together a number of data sources so they play back seamlessly
without gaps.
 
This example uses the chaining system built into the `ma_data_source` API. It will take every sound
passed onto the command line in order, and then loop back and start again. When looping a chain of
data sources, you need only link the last data source back to the first one.
 
To play a chain of data sources, you first need to set up your chain. To set the data source that
should be played after another, you have two options:
 
    * Set a pointer to a specific data source
    * Set a callback that will fire when the next data source needs to be retrieved
 
The first option is good for simple scenarios. The second option is useful if you need to perform
some action when the end of a sound is reached. This example will be using both.
 
When reading data from a chain, you always read from the head data source. Internally miniaudio
will track a pointer to the data source in the chain that is currently playing. If you don't
consistently read from the head data source this state will become inconsistent and things won't
work correctly. When using a chain, this pointer needs to be reset if you need to play the
chain again from the start:
 
    ```c
    ma_data_source_set_current(&headDataSource, &headDataSource);
    ma_data_source_seek_to_pcm_frame(&headDataSource, 0);
    ```
 
The code above is setting the "current" data source in the chain to the head data source, thereby
starting the chain from the start again. It is also seeking the head data source back to the start
so that playback starts from the start as expected. You do not need to seek non-head items back to
the start as miniaudio will do that for you internally.
