typedef VISA_Handle AUDDEC1_Handle

Opaque handle to a AUDDEC1 codec.

typedef struct IAUDDEC1_Params AUDDEC1_Params

This structure defines the parameters necessary to create an instance of an audio decoder object.

typedef IAUDDEC1_InArgs AUDDEC1_InArgs

Defines the input arguments for all IAUDDEC1 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.

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.

XDM_CmdId

IAUDDEC1_Fxns::control()

typedef IAUDDEC1_Status AUDDEC1_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.

typedef IAUDDEC1_DynamicParams AUDDEC1_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.

Function Documentation

Int32 AUDDEC1_control	(	AUDDEC1_Handle	handle,
		AUDDEC1_Cmd	id,
		AUDDEC1_DynamicParams *	params,
		AUDDEC1_Status *	status
	)

Execute the control() method in this instance of an audio1 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:

	AUDDEC1_EOK	Success.
	AUDDEC1_EFAIL	Failure.
	AUDDEC1_EUNSUPPORTED	Unsupported request.

Remarks:

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

AUDDEC1_delete()

IAUDDEC1_Fxns()control()

AUDDEC1_Handle AUDDEC1_create	(	Engine_Handle	e,
		String	name,
		AUDDEC1_Params *	params
	)

Create an instance of an audio decoder algorithm.

Instance handles must not be concurrently accessed by multiple threads; each thread must either obtain its own handle (via AUDDEC1_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 and/or the number of VISA messages to allocate, to be overridden. This optional argument string is of the form ":priority:flag:number-of-messages", and can be specified with an empty field for any element that you don't want to be overridden, e.g. "mp3:::3" to cause 3 messages to be allocated while using the default values for priority and the heap 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.

The number-of-messages overrides the default of 1 message, and is useful (or required, practically speaking) for when the "asynchronous" process method is used, i.e. "AUDENC1_processAsync()"

Engine_open()

AUDDEC1_delete()

Void AUDDEC1_delete

(

AUDDEC1_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 AUDDEC1_create() operation (memory, DMA channels, etc.) are freed.

See also:

AUDDEC1_create()

Int32 AUDDEC1_process	(	AUDDEC1_Handle	handle,
		XDM1_BufDesc *	inBufs,
		XDM1_BufDesc *	outBufs,
		AUDDEC1_InArgs *	inArgs,
		AUDDEC1_OutArgs *	outArgs
	)

Execute the process() method in 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:

	AUDDEC1_EOK	Success.
	AUDDEC1_EFAIL	Failure.
	AUDDEC1_EUNSUPPORTED	Unsupported request.

Remarks:

Since the AUDDEC1 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 AUDDEC1_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.

		XDM1_BufDesc *	inBufs,
		XDM1_BufDesc *	outBufs,
		AUDDEC1_InArgs *	inArgs,
		AUDDEC1_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:

Return values:

	AUDDEC1_EOK	Success.
	AUDDEC1_EFAIL	Failure.
	AUDDEC1_EUNSUPPORTED	Unsupported request.

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 AUDDEC1_processWait() API.

The buffers supplied to AUDDEC1_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.

	AUDDEC1_ETIMEOUT	Operation timed out.

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 AUDDEC1_EFOREVER.

There must have previously been an invocation of the AUDDEC1_processAsync() API.

The buffers supplied to AUDDEC1_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.
