Typedef Documentation

typedef VISA_Handle AUDDEC_Handle

Opaque handle to a AUDDEC codec.

typedef IAUDDEC_Params AUDDEC_Params

Defines the creation time parameters for all IAUDDEC instance objects.

Remarks:

The application should set the parameters to 0 to use the algorithm's default values.

This structure may be extended by individual codec implementations allowing customization with vendor specific parameters. The presence of vendor specific extensions will be detected by the value of the size parameter.

The size field must be correctly set by the caller. See http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php?title=Extending_data_structures_in_xDM for more details.

typedef IAUDDEC_InArgs AUDDEC_InArgs

Defines the input arguments for all IAUDDEC instance process function.

Remarks:

This structure may be extended by individual codec implementations allowing customization with vendor specific parameters. The presence of vendor specific extensions will be detected by the value of the size parameter.

The size field must be correctly set by the caller. See http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php?title=Extending_data_structures_in_xDM for more details.

See also:

IAUDDEC_Fxns::process()

typedef IAUDDEC_OutArgs AUDDEC_OutArgs

Defines the run time output arguments for all IAUDDEC instance objects.

Remarks:

This structure may be extended by individual codec implementations allowing customization with vendor specific parameters. The presence of vendor specific extensions will be detected by the value of the size parameter.

The size field must be correctly set by the caller. See http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php?title=Extending_data_structures_in_xDM for more details.

See also:

IAUDDEC_Fxns::process()

typedef IAUDDEC_Cmd AUDDEC_Cmd

Defines the control commands for the IAUDDEC module.

Remarks:

This ID can be extended in IMOD interface for additional controls.

See also:

XDM_CmdId

IAUDDEC_Fxns::control()

typedef IAUDDEC_Status AUDDEC_Status

Defines instance status parameters (read-only).

Remarks:

This structure may be extended by individual codec implementations allowing customization with vendor specific parameters. The presence of vendor specific extensions will be detected by the value of the size parameter.

The size field must be correctly set by the caller. See http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php?title=Extending_data_structures_in_xDM for more details.

See also:

IAUDDEC_Fxns::control()

typedef IAUDDEC_DynamicParams AUDDEC_DynamicParams

This structure defines the codec parameters that can be modified after creation via control() calls.

Remarks:

It is not necessary that a given implementation support all dynamic parameters to be configurable at run time. If a particular algorithm does not support run-time updates to a parameter that the application is attempting to change at runtime, it may indicate this as an error.

This structure may be extended by individual codec implementations allowing customization with vendor specific parameters. The presence of vendor specific extensions will be detected by the value of the size parameter.

Function Documentation

Int32 AUDDEC_control	(	AUDDEC_Handle	handle,
		AUDDEC_Cmd	id,
		AUDDEC_DynamicParams *	params,
		AUDDEC_Status *	status
	)

Execute the control() method in this instance of an audio decoder algorithm.

Parameters:

[in]	handle	Handle to a created audio decoder instance.
[in]	id	Command id for XDM control operation.
[in]	params	Runtime control parameters used for decoding.
[out]	status	Status info upon completion of decode operation.

Precondition:

handle is a valid (non-NULL) audio decoder handle and the audio decoder is in the created state.

Return values:

AUDDEC_EOK	Success.
AUDDEC_EFAIL	Failure.
AUDDEC_ERUNTIME	Internal Runtime Error.

Remarks:

This is a blocking call, and will return after the control command has been executed.

AUDDEC_delete()

IAUDDEC_Fxns::control()

AUDDEC_Handle AUDDEC_create	(	Engine_Handle	e,
		String	name,
		AUDDEC_Params *	params
	)

Create an instance of a audio decoder algorithm.

Instance handles must not be concurrently accessed by multiple threads; each thread must either obtain its own handle (via AUDDEC_create()) or explicitly serialize access to a shared handle.

Parameters:

[in]	e	Handle to an opened engine.
[in]	name	String identifier of the type of audio decoder. to create.
[in]	params	Creation parameters.

Return values:

NULL	An error has occurred.
non-NULL	The handle to the newly created audio decoder instance.

Remarks:

params is optional. If it's not supplied, codec-specific default params will be used.

Depending on the configuration of the engine opened, this call may create a local or remote instance of the audio decoder.

In general, name is the name of the codec configured by the system integrator. However, an optional "argument string" may be appended to the codec name, to allow the codec's configured priority and/or the heaps where its memory will be allocated, to be overridden. This optional argument string is of the form ":priority", ":priority:flag", or "::flag".

priority is the new priority to create the codec with.

The flag must be either 0 or 1, and if 1, all memory allocated for the codec will be in the heap that corresponds to IALG_EXTERNAL. If flag is 0, the memory for the codec will be allocated from the heaps it has requested. For example, if a codec named "mp3" has been configured into the system, setting name to "mp3:4" would cause the codec to be created at priority 4, instead of whatever priority was configured. This feature is useful if more than one instance of the codec are to be created at different priorities.

The flag can be used to prevent the codec from using any internal memory, for example, if it is to be run at the same time as another codec that must use internal memory, and there is insufficient internal memory for both.

Engine_open()

AUDDEC_delete()

Void AUDDEC_delete

(

AUDDEC_Handle

handle )

Delete the instance of an audio decoder algorithm.

Parameters:

[in]

handle

Handle to a created audio decoder instance.

Remarks:

Depending on the configuration of the engine opened, this call may delete a local or remote instance of the audio decoder.

Precondition:

handle is a valid (non-NULL) handle which is in the created state.

Postcondition:

All resources allocated as part of the AUDDEC_create() operation (memory, DMA channels, etc.) are freed.

See also:

AUDDEC_create()

Int32 AUDDEC_process	(	AUDDEC_Handle	handle,
		XDM_BufDesc *	inBufs,
		XDM_BufDesc *	outBufs,
		AUDDEC_InArgs *	inArgs,
		AUDDEC_OutArgs *	outArgs
	)

Execute the process() method in this instance of an audio decoder algorithm.

Parameters:

[in]	handle	Handle to a created audio decoder instance.
[in]	inBufs	A buffer descriptor containing input buffers.
[out]	outBufs	A buffer descriptor containing output buffers.
[in]	inArgs	Input Arguments.
[out]	outArgs	Output Arguments.

Precondition:

handle is a valid (non-NULL) audio decoder handle and the audio decoder is in the created state.

Return values:

AUDDEC_EOK	Success.
AUDDEC_EFAIL	Failure.
AUDDEC_ERUNTIME	Internal Runtime Error.

Remarks:

Since the AUDDEC decoder contains support for asynchronous buffer submission and retrieval, this API becomes known as synchronous in nature.

This is a blocking call, and will return after the data has been decoded.

The buffers supplied to AUDDEC_process() may have constraints put on them. For example, in dual-processor, shared memory architectures, where the codec is running on a remote processor, the buffers may need to be physically contiguous. Additionally, the remote processor may place restrictions on buffer alignment.

If an error is returned, outArgs->extendedError may indicate further details about the error. See AUDDEC_OutArgs::extendedError for details.

Int32 AUDDEC_processAsync	(	AUDDEC_Handle	handle,
		XDM_BufDesc *	inBufs,
		XDM_BufDesc *	outBufs,
		AUDDEC_InArgs *	inArgs,
		AUDDEC_OutArgs *	outArgs
	)

Perform asynchronous submission to this instance of a audio decoder algorithm.

Parameters:

[in]	handle	Handle to a created audio decoder instance.
[in]	inBufs	A buffer descriptor containing input buffers.
[out]	outBufs	A buffer descriptor containing output buffers.
[in]	inArgs	Input Arguments.
[out]	outArgs	Output Arguments.

Precondition:

handle is a valid (non-NULL) audio decoder handle and the audio decoder is in the created state.

Return values:

AUDDEC_EOK	Success.
AUDDEC_EFAIL	Failure.
AUDDEC_ERUNTIME	Internal Runtime Error.

Remarks:

This API is the asynchronous counterpart to the process() method. It allows for buffer and argument submission without waiting for retrieval. A response is retrieved using the AUDDEC_processWait() API.

The buffers supplied to AUDDEC_processAsync() may have constraints put on them. For example, in dual-processor, shared memory architectures, where the codec is running on a remote processor, the buffers may need to be physically contiguous. Additionally, the remote processor may place restrictions on buffer alignment.

Remarks:

This is a blocking call, and will return after the data has been decoded.

"Polling" is supported by using a timeout of 0. Waiting forever is supported by using a timeout of AUDDEC_FOREVER.

There must have previously been an invocation of the AUDDEC_processAsync() API.

The buffers supplied to AUDDEC_processAsync() may have constraints put on them. For example, in dual-processor, shared memory architectures, where the codec is running on a remote processor, the buffers may need to be physically contiguous.
