Hi There, I compiled and run a simply playback example that is found in the following url, and it records/plays back ok in my linux, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6735?page=0,1 This examples demos shows writing 5 secs of binary data to PCM device to playback. If I have a raw audio file that is recored by a simple record example, and I do not know the length of the binary audio file, how would I control the loop ? How many loops are need? Thanks! Code is attached here: /* This example reads standard from input and writes to the default PCM device for 5 seconds of data. */ /* Use the newer ALSA API */ #define ALSA_PCM_NEW_HW_PARAMS_API #include <alsa/asoundlib.h> int main() { long loops; int rc; int size; snd_pcm_t *handle; snd_pcm_hw_params_t *params; unsigned int val; int dir; snd_pcm_uframes_t frames; char *buffer; /* Open PCM device for playback. */ rc = snd_pcm_open(&handle, "default", SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, 0); if (rc < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "unable to open pcm device: %s\n", snd_strerror(rc)); exit(1); } /* Allocate a hardware parameters object. */ snd_pcm_hw_params_alloca(¶ms); /* Fill it in with default values. */ snd_pcm_hw_params_any(handle, params); /* Set the desired hardware parameters. */ /* Interleaved mode */ snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(handle, params, SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED); /* Signed 16-bit little-endian format */ snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(handle, params, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE); /* Two channels (stereo) */ snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels(handle, params, 2); /* 44100 bits/second sampling rate (CD quality) */ val = 44100; snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near(handle, params, &val, &dir); /* Set period size to 32 frames. */ frames = 32; snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size_near(handle, params, &frames, &dir); /* Write the parameters to the driver */ rc = snd_pcm_hw_params(handle, params); if (rc < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "unable to set hw parameters: %s\n", snd_strerror(rc)); exit(1); } /* Use a buffer large enough to hold one period */ snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size(params, &frames, &dir); size = frames * 4; /* 2 bytes/sample, 2 channels */ buffer = (char *) malloc(size); /* We want to loop for 5 seconds */ snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_time(params, &val, &dir); /* 5 seconds in microseconds divided by * period time */ loops = 5000000 / val; while (loops > 0) { loops--; rc = read(0, buffer, size); if (rc == 0) { fprintf(stderr, "end of file on input\n"); break; } else if (rc != size) { fprintf(stderr, "short read: read %d bytes\n", rc); } rc = snd_pcm_writei(handle, buffer, frames); if (rc == -EPIPE) { /* EPIPE means underrun */ fprintf(stderr, "underrun occurred\n"); snd_pcm_prepare(handle); } else if (rc < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "error from writei: %s\n", snd_strerror(rc)); } else if (rc != (int)frames) { fprintf(stderr, "short write, write %d frames\n", rc); } } snd_pcm_drain(handle); snd_pcm_close(handle); free(buffer); return 0; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Using storage to extend the benefits of virtualization and iSCSI Virtualization increases hardware utilization and delivers a new level of agility.
