General informations

Sourceval get_lame_version : unit -> string

Encoders

Sourcetype encoder

Type for lame encoders.

Sourceval create_encoder : unit -> encoder

Create a new lame encoder.

Sourceval frame_size : encoder -> int

Frame size. All audio frames submitted to the encoder * should have this number of samples per channel.

Parameters

Sourceval set_in_samplerate : encoder -> int -> unit

Input sample rate in Hz (default: 44100).

Sourceval set_num_channels : encoder -> int -> unit

Number of channels in input stream (default: 2).

Sourceval set_out_samplerate : encoder -> int -> unit

* Output sample rate in Hz (default: 0, which means LAME picks best value * based on the amount of compression). MPEG only allows: * - MPEG1 (32, 44.1, 48 kHz) * - MPEG2 (16, 22.05, 24 kHz) * - MPEG2.5 (8, 11.025, 12 kHz)

Sourceval set_quality : encoder -> int -> unit

* Internal algorithm selection. True quality is determined by the bitrate * but this variable will effect quality by selecting expensive or cheap * algorithms. The quality is an integer between 0 and 9, where 0=best (very * slow) and 9=worst. More precisely: * - 2: near-best quality, not too slow (recommended) * - 5: good quality, fast * - 7: ok quality, really fast

Sourceval set_disable_reservoir : encoder -> bool -> unit

Sourcetype mode =

| Stereo
(*
stereo, channels encoded independely
*)
| Joint_stereo
(*
stereo, channels encoded together
*)
| Dual_channel
(*
not supported
*)
| Mono
(*
mono
*)

Compression mode.

Sourceval set_mode : encoder -> mode -> unit

Set the compression mode.

Sourcetype vbr_mode =

| Vbr_off
(*
constant bitrate
*)
| Vbr_rh
| Vbr_abr
| Vbr_mtrh
| Vbr_max_indicator

VBR (Variable BitRate) mode.

Sourceval set_bWriteVbrTag : encoder -> bool -> unit

Write a Xing VBR header frame. (default:

}

)

Sourceval set_vbr_mode : encoder -> vbr_mode -> unit

Set the VBR mode.

Sourceval set_vbr_quality : encoder -> int -> unit

Set the VBR quality level (0:highest, 9: lowest).

Sourceval set_vbr_mean_bitrate : encoder -> int -> unit

Set the VBR mean birate in kbps. Only used by Vbr_abr mode.

Sourceval set_vbr_min_bitrate : encoder -> int -> unit

Set the minimal VBR bitrate in kbps.

Sourceval set_vbr_max_bitrate : encoder -> int -> unit

Set the maximal VBR bitrate in kbps.

Sourceval set_vbr_hard_min : encoder -> bool -> unit

If true, enforce the minimal VBR bitrate. Normally it will be violated * for analog silence.

Sourceval set_brate : encoder -> int -> unit

Set the bitrate of compressed data. You can either set this or use * set_compression_ratio.

Sourceval set_compression_ratio : encoder -> float -> unit

Set the compression ratio (default: 11).

Sourceval set_private : encoder -> bool -> unit

Get/set private bit.

Sourceval get_private : encoder -> bool

Sourceval set_copyright : encoder -> bool -> unit

Get/set copyright bit.

Sourceval get_copyright : encoder -> bool

Sourceval set_original : encoder -> bool -> unit

Get/set original bit.

Sourceval get_original : encoder -> bool

Sourceexception Init_params_failed

A call to init_params failed for some reason.

Sourceval init_params : encoder -> unit

Initialize lame's parameters. Should be called before encoding (and after * having set the parameters). Raises Init_params_failed on error.

Sourceval init_bitstream : encoder -> unit

Write id3v2 and Xing headers into the front of the bitstream, and set * frame counters and bitrate histogram data to 0. Normally, this is called by * init_params. You can call this after encode_flush_nogap.

Encoding

Sourceexception Init_params_not_called

You should have called init_params.

Sourceexception Psychoacoustic_problem

A problem occured with psychoacoustics.

Sourceexception Unknown_error of int

This should not have happened. Please report.

Sourceval encode_buffer_part : encoder -> string -> int -> int -> string

encode_buffer_part enc buf ofs smpl encodes samples * samples (per channel) of buf starting at position ofs.

Sourceval encode_buffer : encoder -> string -> int -> string

Same as encode_buffer_part but with ofs = 0.

Source

val encode_buffer_float_part : 
  encoder ->
  float array ->
  float array ->
  int ->
  int ->
  string

encode_buffer_float_part enc left right ofs smpl encodes samples * samples of left and right channels starting at position ofs. * Floats are expected to range over -1;1.

Source

val encode_buffer_float : 
  encoder ->
  float array ->
  float array ->
  int ->
  string

Same as encode_buffer_float_part but with ofs = 0.

Source

val encode_buffer_float_ba : 
  encoder ->
  (float, Bigarray.float32_elt, Bigarray.c_layout) Bigarray.Array1.t ->
  (float, Bigarray.float32_elt, Bigarray.c_layout) Bigarray.Array1.t ->
  string

Encode a buffer of samples. The samples follow here lame's convention of having floats in the range -32768.,32768. (yes, this is crazy but that's the way things are).

Sourceval encode_flush : encoder -> string

Flush the PCM buffers, padding with zeros if needed to make a complete * frame. Will also write id3v1 tags (if any) into the bitstream.

Sourceval encode_flush_nogap : encoder -> string

Flush the PCM buffers, padding with zeros if needed to make a complete * frame. This function will not write id3v1 tags into the bitstream.

Id3 tags

Sourcemodule Id3tag : sig ... end
