type handle

Handle to a device.

type params

Parameters of a device.

type stream =

| Playback
(*
Playback stream.
*)
| Capture
(*
Capture stream.
*)

Wanted stream.

type mode =

| Async
(*
Asynchronous notification (not supported yet).
*)
| Non_blocking
(*
Non blocking I/O.
*)

Modes for opening a stream.

val open_pcm : string -> stream list -> mode list -> handle

val close : handle -> unit

val prepare : handle -> unit

Prepare PCM for use.

val resume : handle -> unit

Resume from suspend, no samples are lost.

val recover : ?verbose:bool -> handle -> exn -> unit

Recover the stream state from an error or suspend. * This a high-level helper function building on other functions. * This functions handles Interrupted, Buffer_xrun and Suspended * exceptions trying to prepare given stream for next I/O. * Raises the given exception when not recognized/used.

val start : handle -> unit

val drain : handle -> unit

Stop a PCM preserving pending frames.

val drop : handle -> unit

Stop a PCM dropping pending frames.

val pause : handle -> bool -> unit

pause hnd pause pauses (when pause is true) or resume (when pause * is false) a PCM.

val reset : handle -> unit

val wait : handle -> int -> bool

Wait for a PCM to become ready. The second argument is the timeout in * milliseconds (negative for infinite). Returns false if a timeout * occured.

val readi : handle -> bytes -> int -> int -> int

readi handle buf ofs len reads len interleaved frames in buf * starting at offset ofs (in bytes). It returns the actual number of * frames read.

val writei : handle -> bytes -> int -> int -> int

writei handle buf ofs len writes len interleaved frames of buf * starting at offset ofs (in bytes).

val readn : handle -> bytes array -> int -> int -> int

val writen : handle -> bytes array -> int -> int -> int

val readn_float : handle -> float array array -> int -> int -> int

val writen_float : handle -> float array array -> int -> int -> int

val readn_float_ba : 
  handle ->
  (float, Stdlib.Bigarray.float32_elt, Stdlib.Bigarray.c_layout)
    Stdlib.Bigarray.Array1.t
    array ->
  int

val writen_float_ba : 
  handle ->
  (float, Stdlib.Bigarray.float32_elt, Stdlib.Bigarray.c_layout)
    Stdlib.Bigarray.Array1.t
    array ->
  int

val writei_float_ba : 
  handle ->
  int ->
  (float, Stdlib.Bigarray.float32_elt, Stdlib.Bigarray.c_layout)
    Stdlib.Bigarray.Array1.t ->
  int

val readn_float64 : handle -> float array array -> int -> int -> int

val writen_float64 : handle -> float array array -> int -> int -> int

val get_delay : handle -> int

Get the delay (in frames).

type state =

| St_open
(*
open
*)
| St_setup
(*
setup installed
*)
| St_prepared
(*
ready to start
*)
| St_running
(*
running
*)
| St_xrun
(*
stopped: underrun (playback) or overrun (capture) detected
*)
| St_draining
(*
draining: running (playback) or stopped (capture)
*)
| St_paused
(*
paused
*)
| St_suspended
(*
hardware is suspended
*)
| St_disconnected
(*
hardward is disconnected
*)

State.

val get_state : handle -> state

Get the current state.

val get_params : handle -> params

val set_params : handle -> params -> unit

type access =

| Access_rw_interleaved
| Access_rw_noninterleaved

Access mode.

val set_access : handle -> params -> access -> unit

Set the access mode.

type fmt =

| Format_s16_le
(*
16 bits, little endian
*)
| Format_s24_3le
| Format_float
(*
float 32 bit CPU endian
*)
| Format_float64
(*
float 64 bit CPU endian
*)

Format of audio data.

val set_format : handle -> params -> fmt -> unit

Set the format of audio data.

val set_rate_near : handle -> params -> int -> direction -> int

set_rate_near handle params rate dir sets the sampling rate (in Hz). * If the rate is not avalaible, dir is used to determine the direction of * the nearest available sampling rate to use . The actual sampling rate used * is returned.

val set_channels : handle -> params -> int -> unit

Set the number of channels.

val set_periods : handle -> params -> int -> direction -> unit

Set the number of periods.

val get_periods_min : params -> int * direction

Get the number of periods.

val get_periods_max : params -> int * direction

val get_period_size : params -> int

val set_buffer_size : handle -> params -> int -> unit

Set the buffer size in frames.

val set_buffer_size_near : handle -> params -> int -> int

Set the buffer size near a value in frames.

val get_buffer_size : params -> int

val get_buffer_size_min : params -> int

val get_buffer_size_max : params -> int

val set_nonblock : handle -> bool -> unit

Set blocking mode (true means non-blocking).

val get_frame_size : params -> int

Get the size of a frame in bytes.
