Hello,
I am writing a class that opens an AudioQueue and analyzes its characteristics, and then under certain conditions can begin or end writing out a file from that AudioQueue that is already instantiated. This is my code (entirely based on SpeakHere) that opens the AudioQueue without writing anything out to tmp:
void AQRecorder::StartListen() {
int i, bufferByteSize;
UInt32 size;
try {
SetupAudioFormat(kAudioFormatLinearPCM);
XThrowIfError(AudioQueueNewInput(&mRecordFormat,
MyInputBufferHandler,
this,
NULL, NULL,
0, &mQueue), "AudioQueueNewInput failed");
mRecordPacket = 0;
size = sizeof(mRecordFormat);
XThrowIfError(AudioQueueGetProperty(mQueue, kAudioQueueProperty_StreamDescription,
&mRecordFormat, &size), "couldn't get queue's format");
bufferByteSize = ComputeRecordBufferSize(&mRecordFormat, kBufferDurationSeconds);
for (i = 0; i < kNumberRecordBuffers; ++i) {
XThrowIfError(AudioQueueAllocateBuffer(mQueue, bufferByteSize, &mBuffers[i]),
"AudioQueueAllocateBuffer failed");
XThrowIfError(AudioQueueEnqueueBuffer(mQueue, mBuffers[i], 0, NULL),
"AudioQueueEnqueueBuffer failed");
}
mIsRunning = true;
XThrowIfError(AudioQueueStart(mQueue, NULL), "AudioQueueStart failed");
}
catch (CAXException &e) {
char buf[256];
fprintf(stderr, "Error: %s (%s)\n", e.mOperation, e.FormatError(buf));
}
catch (...) {
fprintf(stderr, "An unknown error occurred\n");
}
}
But I'm a little unclear on how to write a function that will tell this queue "from now until the stop signal, start writing out this queue to tmp as a file". I understand how to tell an AudioQueue to write out as a file at the time that it's created, how to set files format, etc, but not how to tell it to start and stop midstream. Much appreciative of any pointers, thanks.
