Audio channel positions.

These are the channels defined in SMPTE 2036-2-2008 Table 1 for 22.2 audio systems with the Surround and Wide channels from DTS Coherent Acoustics (v.1.3.1) and 10.2 and 7.1 layouts. In the caps the actual channel layout is expressed with a channel count and a channel mask, which describes the existing channels. The positions in the bit mask correspond to the enum values. For negotiation it is allowed to have more bits set in the channel mask than the number of channels to specify the allowed channel positions but this is not allowed in negotiated caps. It is not allowed in any situation other than the one mentioned below to have less bits set in the channel mask than the number of channels.

AudioChannelPosition::Mono can only be used with a single mono channel that has no direction information and would be mixed into all directional channels. This is expressed in caps by having a single channel and no channel mask.

AudioChannelPosition::None can only be used if all channels have this position. This is expressed in caps by having a channel mask with no bits set.

As another special case it is allowed to have two channels without a channel mask. This implicitely means that this is a stereo stream with a front left and front right channel.

used for position-less channels, e.g. from a sound card that records 1024 channels; mutually exclusive with any other channel position

Mono without direction; can only be used with 1 channel

Information for an audio format.

Information describing audio properties. This information can be filled in from GstCaps with AudioInfo::from_caps.

Use the provided macros to access the info in this structure.

Allocate a new AudioInfo that is also initialized with AudioInfo::init.

Returns

a new AudioInfo. free with AudioInfo::free.

Converts among various gst::Format types. This function handles GST_FORMAT_BYTES, GST_FORMAT_TIME, and GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT. For raw audio, GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT corresponds to audio frames. This function can be used to handle pad queries of the type GST_QUERY_CONVERT.

src_fmt

gst::Format of the src_val

src_val

value to convert

dest_fmt

gst::Format of the dest_val

dest_val

pointer to destination value

Returns

TRUE if the conversion was successful.

Copy a GstAudioInfo structure.

Returns

a new AudioInfo. free with gst_audio_info_free.

Free a GstAudioInfo structure previously allocated with AudioInfo::new or AudioInfo::copy.

Parse caps and update self.

caps

a gst::Caps

Returns

TRUE if caps could be parsed

Initialize self with default values.

Compares two AudioInfo and returns whether they are equal or not

other

a AudioInfo

Returns

true if self and other are equal, else false.

Set the default info for the audio info of format and rate and channels.

Note: This initializes self first, no values are preserved.

format

the format

rate

the samplerate

channels

the number of channels

position

the channel positions

Convert the values of self into a gst::Caps.

Returns

the new gst::Caps containing the info of self.

Layout of the audio samples for the different channels.

interleaved audio

non-interleaved audio
