38 *
39 * \section overv_sec Overview
40 *
41 * Audio streams form the central functionality of the sound server. Data is
42 * routed, converted and mixed from several sources before it is passed along
43 * to a final output. Currently, there are three forms of audio streams:
44 *
45 * \li Playback streams - Data flows from the client to the server.
46 * \li Record streams - Data flows from the server to the client.
47 * \li Upload streams - Similar to playback streams, but the data is stored in
48 * the sample cache. See \ref scache for more information
49 * about controlling the sample cache.
50 *
51 * \section create_sec Creating
52 *
53 * To access a stream, a pa_stream object must be created using
54 * pa_stream_new(). At this point the audio sample format and mapping of
55 * channels must be specified. See \ref sample and \ref channelmap for more
56 * information about those structures.
57 *
58 * This first step will only create a client-side object, representing the
59 * stream. To use the stream, a server-side object must be created and
60 * associated with the local object. Depending on which type of stream is
61 * desired, a different function is needed:
62 *
63 * \li Playback stream - pa_stream_connect_playback()
64 * \li Record stream - pa_stream_connect_record()
65 * \li Upload stream - pa_stream_connect_upload() (see \ref scache)
66 *
67 * Similar to how connections are done in contexts, connecting a stream will
68 * not generate a pa_operation object. Also like contexts, the application
69 * should register a state change callback, using
70 * pa_stream_set_state_callback(), and wait for the stream to enter an active
71 * state.
72 *
73 * \subsection bufattr_subsec Buffer Attributes
74 *
75 * Playback and record streams always have a server-side buffer as
76 * part of the data flow. The size of this buffer needs to be chosen
77 * in a compromise between low latency and sensitivity for buffer
78 * overflows/underruns.
79 *
80 * The buffer metrics may be controlled by the application. They are
81 * described with a pa_buffer_attr structure which contains a number
82 * of fields:
83 *
84 * \li maxlength - The absolute maximum number of bytes that can be
85 * stored in the buffer. If this value is exceeded
86 * then data will be lost. It is recommended to pass
87 * (uint32_t) -1 here which will cause the server to
88 * fill in the maximum possible value.
89 *
90 * \li tlength - The target fill level of the playback buffer. The
91 * server will only send requests for more data as long
92 * as the buffer has less than this number of bytes of
93 * data. If you pass (uint32_t) -1 (which is
94 * recommended) here the server will choose the longest
95 * target buffer fill level possible to minimize the
96 * number of necessary wakeups and maximize drop-out
97 * safety. This can exceed 2s of buffering. For
98 * low-latency applications or applications where
99 * latency matters you should pass a proper value here.
100 *
101 * \li prebuf - Number of bytes that need to be in the buffer before
102 * playback will commence. Start of playback can be
103 * forced using pa_stream_trigger() even though the
104 * prebuffer size hasn't been reached. If a buffer
105 * underrun occurs, this prebuffering will be again
106 * enabled. If the playback shall never stop in case of a
107 * buffer underrun, this value should be set to 0. In
108 * that case the read index of the output buffer
109 * overtakes the write index, and hence the fill level of
110 * the buffer is negative. If you pass (uint32_t) -1 here
111 * (which is recommended) the server will choose the same
112 * value as tlength here.
113 *
114 * \li minreq - Minimum free number of the bytes in the playback
115 * buffer before the server will request more data. It is
116 * recommended to fill in (uint32_t) -1 here. This value
117 * influences how much time the sound server has to move
118 * data from the per-stream server-side playback buffer
119 * to the hardware playback buffer.
120 *
121 * \li fragsize - Maximum number of bytes that the server will push in
122 * one chunk for record streams. If you pass (uint32_t)
123 * -1 (which is recommended) here, the server will
124 * choose the longest fragment setting possible to
125 * minimize the number of necessary wakeups and
126 * maximize drop-out safety. This can exceed 2s of
127 * buffering. For low-latency applications or
128 * applications where latency matters you should pass a
129 * proper value here.
130 *
131 * If PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY is set, then the tlength/fragsize
132 * parameters will be interpreted slightly differently than described
133 * above when passed to pa_stream_connect_record() and
134 * pa_stream_connect_playback(): the overall latency that is comprised
135 * of both the server side playback buffer length, the hardware
136 * playback buffer length and additional latencies will be adjusted in
137 * a way that it matches tlength resp. fragsize. Set
138 * PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY if you want to control the overall
139 * playback latency for your stream. Unset it if you want to control
140 * only the latency induced by the server-side, rewritable playback
141 * buffer. The server will try to fulfill the clients latency requests
142 * as good as possible. However if the underlying hardware cannot
143 * change the hardware buffer length or only in a limited range, the
144 * actually resulting latency might be different from what the client
145 * requested. Thus, for synchronization clients always need to check
146 * the actual measured latency via pa_stream_get_latency() or a
147 * similar call, and not make any assumptions. about the latency
148 * available. The function pa_stream_get_buffer_attr() will always
149 * return the actual size of the server-side per-stream buffer in
150 * tlength/fragsize, regardless whether PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY is
151 * set or not.
152 *
153 * The server-side per-stream playback buffers are indexed by a write and a read
154 * index. The application writes to the write index and the sound
155 * device reads from the read index. The read index is increased
156 * monotonically, while the write index may be freely controlled by
157 * the application. Substracting the read index from the write index
158 * will give you the current fill level of the buffer. The read/write
159 * indexes are 64bit values and measured in bytes, they will never
160 * wrap. The current read/write index may be queried using
161 * pa_stream_get_timing_info() (see below for more information). In
162 * case of a buffer underrun the read index is equal or larger than
163 * the write index. Unless the prebuf value is 0, PulseAudio will
164 * temporarily pause playback in such a case, and wait until the
165 * buffer is filled up to prebuf bytes again. If prebuf is 0, the
166 * read index may be larger than the write index, in which case
167 * silence is played. If the application writes data to indexes lower
168 * than the read index, the data is immediately lost.
169 *
170 * \section transfer_sec Transferring Data
171 *
172 * Once the stream is up, data can start flowing between the client and the
173 * server. Two different access models can be used to transfer the data:
174 *
175 * \li Asynchronous - The application register a callback using
176 * pa_stream_set_write_callback() and
177 * pa_stream_set_read_callback() to receive notifications
178 * that data can either be written or read.
179 * \li Polled - Query the library for available data/space using
180 * pa_stream_writable_size() and pa_stream_readable_size() and
181 * transfer data as needed. The sizes are stored locally, in the
182 * client end, so there is no delay when reading them.
183 *
184 * It is also possible to mix the two models freely.
185 *
186 * Once there is data/space available, it can be transferred using either
187 * pa_stream_write() for playback, or pa_stream_peek() / pa_stream_drop() for
188 * record. Make sure you do not overflow the playback buffers as data will be
189 * dropped.
190 *
191 * \section bufctl_sec Buffer Control
192 *
193 * The transfer buffers can be controlled through a number of operations:
194 *
195 * \li pa_stream_cork() - Start or stop the playback or recording.
196 * \li pa_stream_trigger() - Start playback immediatly and do not wait for
197 * the buffer to fill up to the set trigger level.
198 * \li pa_stream_prebuf() - Reenable the playback trigger level.
199 * \li pa_stream_drain() - Wait for the playback buffer to go empty. Will
200 * return a pa_operation object that will indicate when
201 * the buffer is completely drained.
202 * \li pa_stream_flush() - Drop all data from the playback buffer and do not
203 * wait for it to finish playing.
204 *
205 * \section seek_modes Seeking in the Playback Buffer
206 *
207 * A client application may freely seek in the playback buffer. To
208 * accomplish that the pa_stream_write() function takes a seek mode
209 * and an offset argument. The seek mode is one of:
210 *
211 * \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE - seek relative to the current write index
212 * \li PA_SEEK_ABSOLUTE - seek relative to the beginning of the playback buffer, (i.e. the first that was ever played in the stream)
213 * \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE_ON_READ - seek relative to the current read index. Use this to write data to the output buffer that should be played as soon as possible
214 * \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE_END - seek relative to the last byte ever written.
215 *
216 * If an application just wants to append some data to the output
217 * buffer, PA_SEEK_RELATIVE and an offset of 0 should be used.
218 *
219 * After a call to pa_stream_write() the write index will be left at
220 * the position right after the last byte of the written data.
221 *
222 * \section latency_sec Latency
223 *
224 * A major problem with networked audio is the increased latency caused by
225 * the network. To remedy this, PulseAudio supports an advanced system of
226 * monitoring the current latency.
227 *
228 * To get the raw data needed to calculate latencies, call
229 * pa_stream_get_timing_info(). This will give you a pa_timing_info
230 * structure that contains everything that is known about the server
231 * side buffer transport delays and the backend active in the
232 * server. (Besides other things it contains the write and read index
233 * values mentioned above.)
234 *
235 * This structure is updated every time a
236 * pa_stream_update_timing_info() operation is executed. (i.e. before
237 * the first call to this function the timing information structure is
238 * not available!) Since it is a lot of work to keep this structure
239 * up-to-date manually, PulseAudio can do that automatically for you:
240 * if PA_STREAM_AUTO_TIMING_UPDATE is passed when connecting the
241 * stream PulseAudio will automatically update the structure every
242 * 100ms and every time a function is called that might invalidate the
243 * previously known timing data (such as pa_stream_write() or
244 * pa_stream_flush()). Please note however, that there always is a
245 * short time window when the data in the timing information structure
246 * is out-of-date. PulseAudio tries to mark these situations by
247 * setting the write_index_corrupt and read_index_corrupt fields
248 * accordingly.
249 *
250 * The raw timing data in the pa_timing_info structure is usually hard
251 * to deal with. Therefore a simpler interface is available:
252 * you can call pa_stream_get_time() or pa_stream_get_latency(). The
253 * former will return the current playback time of the hardware since
254 * the stream has been started. The latter returns the overall time a sample
255 * that you write now takes to be played by the hardware. These two
256 * functions base their calculations on the same data that is returned
257 * by pa_stream_get_timing_info(). Hence the same rules for keeping
258 * the timing data up-to-date apply here. In case the write or read
259 * index is corrupted, these two functions will fail with
260 * PA_ERR_NODATA set.
261 *
262 * Since updating the timing info structure usually requires a full
263 * network round trip and some applications monitor the timing very
264 * often PulseAudio offers a timing interpolation system. If
265 * PA_STREAM_INTERPOLATE_TIMING is passed when connecting the stream,
266 * pa_stream_get_time() and pa_stream_get_latency() will try to
267 * interpolate the current playback time/latency by estimating the
268 * number of samples that have been played back by the hardware since
269 * the last regular timing update. It is espcially useful to combine
270 * this option with PA_STREAM_AUTO_TIMING_UPDATE, which will enable
271 * you to monitor the current playback time/latency very precisely and
272 * very frequently without requiring a network round trip every time.
273 *
274 * \section flow_sec Overflow and underflow
275 *
276 * Even with the best precautions, buffers will sometime over - or
277 * underflow. To handle this gracefully, the application can be
278 * notified when this happens. Callbacks are registered using
279 * pa_stream_set_overflow_callback() and
280 * pa_stream_set_underflow_callback().
281 *
282 * \section sync_streams Sychronizing Multiple Playback Streams
283 *
284 * PulseAudio allows applications to fully synchronize multiple
285 * playback streams that are connected to the same output device. That
286 * means the streams will always be played back sample-by-sample
287 * synchronously. If stream operations like pa_stream_cork() are
288 * issued on one of the synchronized streams, they are simultaneously
289 * issued on the others.
290 *
291 * To synchronize a stream to another, just pass the "master" stream
292 * as last argument to pa_stream_connect_playback(). To make sure that
293 * the freshly created stream doesn't start playback right-away, make
294 * sure to pass PA_STREAM_START_CORKED and - after all streams have
295 * been created - uncork them all with a single call to
296 * pa_stream_cork() for the master stream.
297 *
298 * To make sure that a particular stream doesn't stop to play when a
299 * server side buffer underrun happens on it while the other
300 * synchronized streams continue playing and hence deviate you need to
301 * pass a "prebuf" pa_buffer_attr of 0 when connecting it.
302 *
303 * \section disc_sec Disconnecting
304 *
305 * When a stream has served is purpose it must be disconnected with
306 * pa_stream_disconnect(). If you only unreference it, then it will live on
307 * and eat resources both locally and on the server until you disconnect the
308 * context.
