Detailed Description

OSX and iOS only - This uses the AudioToolbox framework to read any audio format that the system has a codec for.

This should be able to understand formats such as mp3, m4a, etc.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CoreAudioFormat() [1/2]

CoreAudioFormat::CoreAudioFormat

(

)

Creates a format object.

CoreAudioFormat() [2/2]

CoreAudioFormat::CoreAudioFormat ( StreamKind )

explicit

Creates a format object and provides a hint as to the format of data to be read or written.

~CoreAudioFormat()

CoreAudioFormat::~CoreAudioFormat ( )

override

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

getPossibleSampleRates()

Array< int > CoreAudioFormat::getPossibleSampleRates ( )

overridevirtual

Returns a set of sample rates that the format can read and write.

Implements AudioFormat.

getPossibleBitDepths()

Array< int > CoreAudioFormat::getPossibleBitDepths ( )

overridevirtual

Returns a set of bit depths that the format can read and write.

Implements AudioFormat.

canDoStereo()

bool CoreAudioFormat::canDoStereo ( )

overridevirtual

Returns true if the format can do 2-channel audio.

Implements AudioFormat.

canDoMono()

bool CoreAudioFormat::canDoMono ( )

overridevirtual

Returns true if the format can do 1-channel audio.

Implements AudioFormat.

createReaderFor()

AudioFormatReader * CoreAudioFormat::createReaderFor ( InputStream * sourceStream, bool deleteStreamIfOpeningFails )

overridevirtual

Tries to create an object that can read from a stream containing audio data in this format.

The reader object that is returned can be used to read from the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

Parameters

sourceStream	the stream to read from - the AudioFormatReader object that is returned will delete this stream when it no longer needs it.
deleteStreamIfOpeningFails	if no reader can be created, this determines whether this method should delete the stream object that was passed-in. (If a valid reader is returned, it will always be in charge of deleting the stream, so this parameter is ignored)

AudioFormatReader

Implements AudioFormat.

createWriterFor() [1/2]

AudioFormatWriter * CoreAudioFormat::createWriterFor ( OutputStream * streamToWriteTo, double sampleRateToUse, unsigned int numberOfChannels, int bitsPerSample, const StringPairArray & metadataValues, int qualityOptionIndex )

overridevirtual

Tries to create an object that can write to a stream with this audio format.

The writer object that is returned can be used to write to the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

If the stream can't be created for some reason (e.g. the parameters passed in here aren't suitable), this will return nullptr.

Parameters

streamToWriteTo	the stream that the data will go to - this will be deleted by the AudioFormatWriter object when it's no longer needed. If no AudioFormatWriter can be created by this method, the stream will NOT be deleted, so that the caller can re-use it to try to open a different format, etc
sampleRateToUse	the sample rate for the file, which must be one of the ones returned by getPossibleSampleRates()
numberOfChannels	the number of channels
bitsPerSample	the bits per sample to use - this must be one of the values returned by getPossibleBitDepths()
metadataValues	a set of metadata values that the writer should try to write to the stream. Exactly what these are depends on the format, and the subclass doesn't actually have to do anything with them if it doesn't want to. Have a look at the specific format implementation classes to see possible values that can be used
qualityOptionIndex	the index of one of compression qualities returned by the getQualityOptions() method. If there aren't any quality options for this format, just pass 0 in this parameter, as it'll be ignored

createWriterFor() [2/2]

virtual AudioFormatWriter * AudioFormat::createWriterFor ( OutputStream * streamToWriteTo, double sampleRateToUse, const AudioChannelSet & channelLayout, int bitsPerSample, const StringPairArray & metadataValues, int qualityOptionIndex )

virtual

Tries to create an object that can write to a stream with this audio format.

The writer object that is returned can be used to write to the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

If the stream can't be created for some reason (e.g. the parameters passed in here aren't suitable), this will return nullptr.

Parameters

streamToWriteTo	the stream that the data will go to - this will be deleted by the AudioFormatWriter object when it's no longer needed. If no AudioFormatWriter can be created by this method, the stream will NOT be deleted, so that the caller can re-use it to try to open a different format, etc
sampleRateToUse	the sample rate for the file, which must be one of the ones returned by getPossibleSampleRates()
channelLayout	the channel layout for the file. Use isChannelLayoutSupported to check if the writer supports this layout.
bitsPerSample	the bits per sample to use - this must be one of the values returned by getPossibleBitDepths()
metadataValues	a set of metadata values that the writer should try to write to the stream. Exactly what these are depends on the format, and the subclass doesn't actually have to do anything with them if it doesn't want to. Have a look at the specific format implementation classes to see possible values that can be used
qualityOptionIndex	the index of one of compression qualities returned by the getQualityOptions() method. If there aren't any quality options for this format, just pass 0 in this parameter, as it'll be ignored
