Function Documentation

size_t pa_bytes_per_second ( const pa_sample_spec *  spec  ) 

Return the amount of bytes playback of a second of audio with the specified sample type takes.

char* pa_bytes_snprint ( char *  s,
size_t  l,
unsigned  v 
)

Pretty print a byte size value.

(i.e. "2.5 MiB")

pa_usec_t pa_bytes_to_usec ( uint64_t  length,
const pa_sample_spec *  spec 
)

Calculate the time the specified bytes take to play with the specified sample type.

The return value will always be rounded down for non-integral return values.

size_t pa_frame_size ( const pa_sample_spec *  spec  ) 

Return the size of a frame with the specific sample type.

Examples:
paplay.c.

pa_sample_format_t pa_parse_sample_format ( const char *  format  ) 

Parse a sample format text.

Inverse of pa_sample_format_to_string()

Examples:
pacat.c.

const char* pa_sample_format_to_string ( pa_sample_format_t  f  ) 

Return a descriptive string for the specified sample format.

Since:
0.8

size_t pa_sample_size ( const pa_sample_spec *  spec  ) 

Return the size of a sample with the specific sample type.

size_t pa_sample_size_of_format ( pa_sample_format_t  f  ) 

Similar to pa_sample_size() but take a sample format instead of a full sample spec.

Since:
0.9.15

int pa_sample_spec_equal ( const pa_sample_spec *  a,
const pa_sample_spec *  b 
)

Return non-zero when the two sample type specifications match.

pa_sample_spec* pa_sample_spec_init ( pa_sample_spec *  spec  ) 

Initialize the specified sample spec and return a pointer to it.

The sample spec will have a defined state but pa_sample_spec_valid() will fail for it.

Since:
0.9.13

char* pa_sample_spec_snprint ( char *  s,
size_t  l,
const pa_sample_spec *  spec 
)

Pretty print a sample type specification to a string.

Examples:
pacat.c, and paplay.c.

int pa_sample_spec_valid ( const pa_sample_spec *  spec  ) 

Return non-zero when the sample type specification is valid.

Examples:
pacat.c, and paplay.c.

size_t pa_usec_to_bytes ( pa_usec_t  t,
const pa_sample_spec *  spec 
)

Calculates the number of bytes that are required for the specified time.

The return value will always be rounded down for non-integral return values.

Since:
0.9
