## Detailed Description

A base class for audio ringbuffer implementations.

This object is the base class for audio ringbuffers used by the base audio source and sink classes.

The ringbuffer abstracts a circular buffer of data. One reader and one writer can operate on the data from different threads in a lockfree manner. The base class is sufficiently flexible to be used as an abstraction for DMA based ringbuffers as well as a pure software implementations.

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef sigc::slot<void, const Glib::ArrayHandle<guint8>&, guint> Gst::RingBuffer::SlotFill

For example, bool on_fill(const Glib::RefPtr<Gst::RingBuffer>& rbuf, const std::vector<guint8>& data, guint len);.

This slot is set with set_fill_slot() and is called to fill the memory at data with len bytes of samples.

## Member Function Documentation

bool Gst::RingBuffer::acquire | ( | Gst::RingBufferSpec& | spec | ) |

Allocate the resources for the ringbuffer.

This function fills in the data pointer of the ring buffer with a valid Gst::Buffer to which samples can be written.

Parameters:

  spec | The specs of the buffer.

Returns:
  `true` if the device could be acquired, `false` on error.

MT safe.

virtual bool Gst::RingBuffer::acquire_vfunc | ( | Gst::RingBufferSpec& | spec | ) | `[virtual]`

Virtual function to allocate the resources for the ring buffer using the given spec.

bool Gst::RingBuffer::activate | ( | bool | active | ) |

Activate buf to start or stop pulling data.

MT safe.

Parameters:

  active | The new mode.

Returns:
  `true` if the device could be activated in the requested mode, `false` on error.

virtual bool Gst::RingBuffer::activate_vfunc | ( | bool | active | ) | `[virtual]`

Virtual function to activate the thread that starts pulling and monitoring the consumed segments in the device.

Since 0.10.22.

void Gst::RingBuffer::advance | ( | guint | advance | ) |

Subclasses should call this function to notify the fact that advance segments are now processed by the device.

MT safe.

Parameters:

  advance | The number of segments written.

void Gst::RingBuffer::clear | ( | int | segment | ) |

Clear the given segment of the buffer with silence samples.

This function is used by subclasses.

MT safe.

Parameters:

  segment | The segment to clear.

void Gst::RingBuffer::clear_all | ( |  | ) |

Fill the ringbuffer with silence.

MT safe.

virtual void Gst::RingBuffer::clear_all_vfunc | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Virtual function to clear the entire ringbuffer Since 0.10.24.

bool Gst::RingBuffer::close_device | ( |  | ) |

Close the audio device associated with the ring buffer.

The ring buffer should already have been released via release().

Returns:
  `true` if the device could be closed, `false` on error.

MT safe.

virtual bool Gst::RingBuffer::close_device_vfunc | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Virtual function to close the device.

guint Gst::RingBuffer::commit | ( | guint64 | sample,
|  | const Glib::ArrayHandle< guchar > & | data,
|  | guint | len
| ) |  |

Same as commit_full() but with a in_samples and out_samples equal to len, ignoring accum.

Parameters:

  sample | The sample position of the data.
  data | The data to commit.
  len | The number of samples in the data to commit.

Returns:
  The number of samples written to the ringbuffer or -1 on error.

MT safe.

guint Gst::RingBuffer::commit | ( | guint64 & | sample,
|  | const Glib::ArrayHandle< guchar > & | data,
|  | int | in_samples,
|  | int | out_samples,
|  | int & | accum
| ) |  |

Commit in_samples samples pointed to by data to the ringbuffer buf.

in_samples and out_samples define the rate conversion to perform on the samples in data. For negative rates, out_samples must be negative and in_samples positive.

When out_samples is positive, the first sample will be written at position sample in the ringbuffer. When out_samples is negative, the last sample will be written to sample in reverse order.

out_samples does not need to be a multiple of the segment size of the ringbuffer although it is recommended for optimal performance.

accum will hold a temporary accumulator used in rate conversion and should be set to 0 when this function is first called. In case the commit operation is interrupted, one can resume the processing by passing the previously returned accum value back to this function.

MT safe.

Parameters:

  sample | The sample position of the data.
  data | The data to commit.
  in_samples | The number of samples in the data to commit.
  out_samples | The number of samples to write to the ringbuffer.
  accum | Accumulator for rate conversion.

Returns:
  The number of samples written to the ringbuffer or -1 on error. The number of samples written can be less than out_samples when buf was interrupted with a flush or stop.

|  | const Glib::ArrayHandle< guchar > & | data,
|  | int | in_samples,

|  | int & | accum
| ) |  | `[virtual]`

Virtual function to write samples into the ring buffer.

bool Gst::RingBuffer::convert | ( | Gst::Format | src_fmt,
|  | gint64 | src_val,
|  | Gst::Format | dest_fmt,
|  | gint64 & | dest_val

  src_val | The source value.
  dest_fmt | The destination format.
  dest_val | A location to store the converted value.

Returns:
  `true` if the device was open, `false` if it was closed.

MT safe.

guint Gst::RingBuffer::get_delay | ( |  | ) | const

Get the number of samples queued in the audio device.

This is usually less than the segment size but can be bigger when the implementation uses another internal buffer between the audio device.

For playback ringbuffers this is the amount of samples transfered from the ringbuffer to the device but still not played.

For capture ringbuffers this is the amount of samples in the device that are not yet transfered to the ringbuffer.

Returns:
  The number of samples queued in the audio device.

MT safe.
