37 *
38 * \section overv_sec Overview
39 *
40 * Audio streams form the central functionality of the sound server. Data is
41 * routed, converted and mixed from several sources before it is passed along
42 * to a final output. Currently, there are three forms of audio streams:
43 *
44 * \li Playback streams - Data flows from the client to the server.
45 * \li Record streams - Data flows from the server to the client.
46 * \li Upload streams - Similar to playback streams, but the data is stored in
47 * the sample cache. See \ref scache for more information
48 * about controlling the sample cache.
49 *
50 * \section create_sec Creating
51 *
52 * To access a stream, a pa_stream object must be created using
53 * pa_stream_new() or pa_stream_new_extended(). pa_stream_new() is for PCM
54 * streams only, while pa_stream_new_extended() can be used for both PCM and
55 * compressed audio streams. At this point the application must specify what
56 * stream format(s) it supports. See \ref sample and \ref channelmap for more
57 * information on the stream format parameters. FIXME: Those references only
58 * talk about PCM parameters, we should also have an overview page for how the
59 * pa_format_info based stream format configuration works. Bug filed:
60 * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72265
61 *
62 * This first step will only create a client-side object, representing the
63 * stream. To use the stream, a server-side object must be created and
64 * associated with the local object. Depending on which type of stream is
65 * desired, a different function is needed:
66 *
67 * \li Playback stream - pa_stream_connect_playback()
68 * \li Record stream - pa_stream_connect_record()
69 * \li Upload stream - pa_stream_connect_upload() (see \ref scache)
70 *
71 * Similar to how connections are done in contexts, connecting a stream will
72 * not generate a pa_operation object. Also like contexts, the application
73 * should register a state change callback, using
74 * pa_stream_set_state_callback(), and wait for the stream to enter an active
75 * state.
76 *
77 * Note: there is a user-controllable slider in mixer applications such as
78 * pavucontrol corresponding to each of the created streams. Multiple
79 * (especially identically named) volume sliders for the same application might
80 * confuse the user. Also, the server supports only a limited number of
81 * simultaneous streams. Because of this, it is not always appropriate to
82 * create multiple streams in one application that needs to output multiple
83 * sounds. The rough guideline is: if there is no use case that would require
84 * separate user-initiated volume changes for each stream, perform the mixing
85 * inside the application.
86 *
87 * \subsection bufattr_subsec Buffer Attributes
88 *
89 * Playback and record streams always have a server-side buffer as
90 * part of the data flow. The size of this buffer needs to be chosen
91 * in a compromise between low latency and sensitivity for buffer
92 * overflows/underruns.
93 *
94 * The buffer metrics may be controlled by the application. They are
95 * described with a pa_buffer_attr structure.
96 *
97 * If PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY is set, then the tlength/fragsize
98 * parameters of the pa_buffer_attr structure will be interpreted
99 * slightly differently than otherwise when passed to
100 * pa_stream_connect_record() and pa_stream_connect_playback(): the
101 * overall latency that is comprised of both the server side playback
102 * buffer length, the hardware playback buffer length and additional
103 * latencies will be adjusted in a way that it matches tlength resp.
104 * fragsize. Set PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY if you want to control the
105 * overall playback latency for your stream. Unset it if you want to
106 * control only the latency induced by the server-side, rewritable
107 * playback buffer. The server will try to fulfill the client's latency
108 * requests as good as possible. However if the underlying hardware cannot
109 * change the hardware buffer length or only in a limited range, the
110 * actually resulting latency might be different from what the client
111 * requested. Thus, for synchronization clients always need to check
112 * the actual measured latency via pa_stream_get_latency() or a
113 * similar call, and not make any assumptions about the latency
114 * available. The function pa_stream_get_buffer_attr() will always
115 * return the actual size of the server-side per-stream buffer in
116 * tlength/fragsize, regardless whether PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY is
117 * set or not.
118 *
119 * The server-side per-stream playback buffers are indexed by a write and
120 * a read index. The application writes to the write index and the sound
121 * device reads from the read index. The read index is increased
122 * monotonically, while the write index may be freely controlled by
123 * the application. Subtracting the read index from the write index
124 * will give you the current fill level of the buffer. The read/write
125 * indexes are 64bit values and measured in bytes, they will never
126 * wrap. The current read/write index may be queried using
127 * pa_stream_get_timing_info() (see below for more information). In
128 * case of a buffer underrun the read index is equal or larger than
129 * the write index. Unless the prebuf value is 0, PulseAudio will
130 * temporarily pause playback in such a case, and wait until the
131 * buffer is filled up to prebuf bytes again. If prebuf is 0, the
132 * read index may be larger than the write index, in which case
133 * silence is played. If the application writes data to indexes lower
134 * than the read index, the data is immediately lost.
135 *
136 * \section transfer_sec Transferring Data
137 *
138 * Once the stream is up, data can start flowing between the client and the
139 * server. Two different access models can be used to transfer the data:
140 *
141 * \li Asynchronous - The application registers a callback using
142 * pa_stream_set_write_callback() and
143 * pa_stream_set_read_callback() to receive notifications
144 * that data can either be written or read.
145 * \li Polled - Query the library for available data/space using
146 * pa_stream_writable_size() and pa_stream_readable_size() and
147 * transfer data as needed. The sizes are stored locally, in the
148 * client end, so there is no delay when reading them.
149 *
150 * It is also possible to mix the two models freely.
151 *
152 * Once there is data/space available, it can be transferred using either
153 * pa_stream_write() for playback, or pa_stream_peek() / pa_stream_drop() for
154 * record. Make sure you do not overflow the playback buffers as data will be
155 * dropped.
156 *
157 * \section bufctl_sec Buffer Control
158 *
159 * The transfer buffers can be controlled through a number of operations:
160 *
161 * \li pa_stream_cork() - Start or stop the playback or recording.
162 * \li pa_stream_trigger() - Start playback immediately and do not wait for
163 * the buffer to fill up to the set trigger level.
164 * \li pa_stream_prebuf() - Reenable the playback trigger level.
165 * \li pa_stream_drain() - Wait for the playback buffer to go empty. Will
166 * return a pa_operation object that will indicate when
167 * the buffer is completely drained.
168 * \li pa_stream_flush() - Drop all data from the playback or record buffer. Do not
169 * wait for it to finish playing.
170 *
171 * \section seek_modes Seeking in the Playback Buffer
172 *
173 * A client application may freely seek in the playback buffer. To
174 * accomplish that the pa_stream_write() function takes a seek mode
175 * and an offset argument. The seek mode is one of:
176 *
177 * \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE - seek relative to the current write index.
178 * \li PA_SEEK_ABSOLUTE - seek relative to the beginning of the playback buffer,
179 * (i.e. the first that was ever played in the stream).
180 * \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE_ON_READ - seek relative to the current read index. Use
181 * this to write data to the output buffer that should be played as soon as possible.
182 * \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE_END - seek relative to the last byte ever written.
183 *
184 * If an application just wants to append some data to the output
185 * buffer, PA_SEEK_RELATIVE and an offset of 0 should be used.
186 *
187 * After a call to pa_stream_write() the write index will be left at
188 * the position right after the last byte of the written data.
189 *
190 * \section latency_sec Latency
191 *
192 * A major problem with networked audio is the increased latency caused by
193 * the network. To remedy this, PulseAudio supports an advanced system of
194 * monitoring the current latency.
195 *
196 * To get the raw data needed to calculate latencies, call
197 * pa_stream_get_timing_info(). This will give you a pa_timing_info
198 * structure that contains everything that is known about the server
199 * side buffer transport delays and the backend active in the
200 * server. (Besides other things it contains the write and read index
201 * values mentioned above.)
202 *
203 * This structure is updated every time a
204 * pa_stream_update_timing_info() operation is executed. (i.e. before
205 * the first call to this function the timing information structure is
206 * not available!) Since it is a lot of work to keep this structure
207 * up-to-date manually, PulseAudio can do that automatically for you:
208 * if PA_STREAM_AUTO_TIMING_UPDATE is passed when connecting the
209 * stream PulseAudio will automatically update the structure every
210 * 100ms and every time a function is called that might invalidate the
211 * previously known timing data (such as pa_stream_write() or
212 * pa_stream_flush()). Please note however, that there always is a
213 * short time window when the data in the timing information structure
214 * is out-of-date. PulseAudio tries to mark these situations by
215 * setting the write_index_corrupt and read_index_corrupt fields
216 * accordingly.
217 *
218 * The raw timing data in the pa_timing_info structure is usually hard
219 * to deal with. Therefore a simpler interface is available:
220 * you can call pa_stream_get_time() or pa_stream_get_latency(). The
221 * former will return the current playback time of the hardware since
222 * the stream has been started. The latter returns the overall time a sample
223 * that you write now takes to be played by the hardware. These two
224 * functions base their calculations on the same data that is returned
225 * by pa_stream_get_timing_info(). Hence the same rules for keeping
226 * the timing data up-to-date apply here. In case the write or read
227 * index is corrupted, these two functions will fail with
228 * -PA_ERR_NODATA set.
229 *
230 * Since updating the timing info structure usually requires a full
231 * network round trip and some applications monitor the timing very
232 * often PulseAudio offers a timing interpolation system. If
233 * PA_STREAM_INTERPOLATE_TIMING is passed when connecting the stream,
234 * pa_stream_get_time() and pa_stream_get_latency() will try to
235 * interpolate the current playback time/latency by estimating the
236 * number of samples that have been played back by the hardware since
237 * the last regular timing update. It is especially useful to combine
238 * this option with PA_STREAM_AUTO_TIMING_UPDATE, which will enable
239 * you to monitor the current playback time/latency very precisely and
240 * very frequently without requiring a network round trip every time.
241 *
242 * \section flow_sec Overflow and underflow
243 *
244 * Even with the best precautions, buffers will sometime over - or
245 * underflow. To handle this gracefully, the application can be
246 * notified when this happens. Callbacks are registered using
247 * pa_stream_set_overflow_callback() and
248 * pa_stream_set_underflow_callback().
249 *
250 * \section sync_streams Synchronizing Multiple Playback Streams
251 *
252 * PulseAudio allows applications to fully synchronize multiple
253 * playback streams that are connected to the same output device. That
254 * means the streams will always be played back sample-by-sample
255 * synchronously. If stream operations like pa_stream_cork() are
256 * issued on one of the synchronized streams, they are simultaneously
257 * issued on the others.
258 *
259 * To synchronize a stream to another, just pass the "master" stream
260 * as last argument to pa_stream_connect_playback(). To make sure that
261 * the freshly created stream doesn't start playback right-away, make
262 * sure to pass PA_STREAM_START_CORKED and -- after all streams have
263 * been created -- uncork them all with a single call to
264 * pa_stream_cork() for the master stream.
265 *
266 * To make sure that a particular stream doesn't stop playing when a
267 * server side buffer underrun happens on it while the other
268 * synchronized streams continue playing and hence deviate, you need to
269 * pass a pa_buffer_attr with prebuf set to 0 when connecting.
270 *
271 * \section disc_sec Disconnecting
272 *
273 * When a stream has served is purpose it must be disconnected with
274 * pa_stream_disconnect(). If you only unreference it, then it will live on
275 * and eat resources both locally and on the server until you disconnect the
276 * context.
