The simplest way is to use a standard 3.5mm male-to-male audio cable * to connect line-out to line-in, or speaker-out to mic-in, etc. * * Capturing speaker output with a microphone should also work, as long as the * ambient noise level is low enough. You may have to adjust the microphone gain * to ensure that the volume is loud enough to be detected by the element, and * at the same time that it's not so loud that it picks up ambient noise. * * For programmatic use, instead of using 'print-stats', you should read the * 'last-latency' and 'average-latency' properties at most once a second, or * parse the "latency" element message, which contains the "last-latency" and * "average-latency" fields in the GstStructure. * * The average latency is a running average of the last 5 measurements. */ #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H #include "config.h" #endif #include "gstaudiolatency.h" #define AUDIOLATENCY_CAPS "audio/x-raw, " \ "format = (string) F32LE, " \ "layout = (string) interleaved, " \ "rate = (int) [ 1, MAX ], " \ "channels = (int) [ 1, MAX ]" GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_STATIC (gst_audiolatency_debug);
