AudioDataOutput Class Reference
from PyKDE4.phonon import *
Namespace: Phonon::Experimental
Detailed Description
This class gives you the audio data (for visualizations).
This class implements a special AbstractAudioOutput that gives your application the audio data. Don't expect realtime performance. But the latencies should be low enough to use the audio data for visualizations. You can also use the audio data for further processing (e.g. encoding and saving to a file).
The class supports different data formats. One of the most common formats is to read vectors of integers (which will only use 16 Bit), but you can also request floats which some backends use internally.

Method Documentation
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| Phonon.Experimental.AudioDataOutput | other | |||
| ) |
| dataReady | ( | self, | ||
| QMap |
data | |||
| ) |
Emitted whenever another dataSize number of samples are ready and format is set to IntegerFormat.
If format is set to FloatFormat the signal is not emitted at all.
- Parameters:
-
data A mapping of Channel to a vector holding the audio data.
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("dataReady(const QMap
| dataReady | ( | self, | ||
| QMap |
data | |||
| ) |
Emitted whenever another dataSize number of samples are ready and format is set to FloatFormat.
If format is set to IntegerFormat the signal is not emitted at all.
- Parameters:
-
data A mapping of Channel to a vector holding the audio data.
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("dataReady(const QMap
| int dataSize | ( | self ) |
Returns the currently used number of samples passed through the signal.
- See also:
- setDataSize
| endOfMedia | ( | self, | ||
| int | remainingSamples | |||
| ) |
This signal is emitted before the last dataReady signal of a media is emitted.
If, for example, the playback of a media file has finished and the last audio data of that file is going to be passed with the next dataReady signal, and only the 28 first samples of the data vector are from that media file endOfMedia will be emitted right before dataReady with remainingSamples = 28.
- Parameters:
-
remainingSamples The number of samples in the next dataReady vector that belong to the media that was playing to this point.
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("endOfMedia(int)"), target_slot)
| Phonon.Experimental.AudioDataOutput.Format format | ( | self ) |
Returns the currently used format.
- See also:
- setFormat
| int sampleRate | ( | self ) |
Returns the sample rate in Hz. Common sample rates are 44100 Hz and 48000 Hz. AudioDataOutput will not do any sample rate conversion for you. If you need to convert the sample rate you might want to take a look at libsamplerate. For visualizations it is often enough to do simple interpolation or even drop/duplicate samples.
- Returns:
- The sample rate as reported by the backend. If the backend is unavailable -1 is returned.
| setDataSize | ( | self, | ||
| int | size | |||
| ) |
Sets the number of samples to be passed in one signal emission.
Defaults to 512 samples per emitted signal.
- Parameters:
-
size the number of samples
| setFormat | ( | self, | ||
| Phonon.Experimental.AudioDataOutput.Format | format | |||
| ) |
Requests the dataformat you'd like to receive. Only one of the signals of this class will be emitted when new data is ready.
The default format is IntegerFormat.
- See also:
- format()
