DirectShow streaming and playback in particular offers flexible playback rates for scenarios where playback is requested to take place slower or faster than real time. For a DirectShow developer, the outer interface is pretty straightforward:IMediaPosition::put_Rate takes playback rate and that’s it. Playback rate. Must not be zero. The playback rate is expressed as a ratio of…
The minimalistic sample demonstrates support of [deprecated] Waveform Audio API for multiple playback streams. Depending on command line parameters, the application starts threads to open audio hardware using separate waveOutOpen call and stream one or more generated sine waves: 1,000 Hz sine wave as 22,050 Hz, Mono, 16-bit PCM (command line parameter “a”) 5,000 Hz…
The utility and code does straightforward enumeration of MMDevices (Vista+, check MSDN for MMDevice API availability), which correspond to MMDevice API, WASAPI, Core Audio API. The code itself is straightforward, with a ready to use binary to quickly lookup data of interest: The data is detailed well and in Excel-friendly format (via Copy/Paste): The code…
GeneratePcmWavFile tool is generating PCM .WAV files with requested parameters, silent or with a sine wave data. The utility uses WavDest SDK Sample as a multiplexer, so it is expected to be available. It is possible to define the following audio data parameters: sampling frequency, number of samples per second, such as 44100 or 48000…
It is the first time ever – because probably I am not as experienced as Geraint – I witness availability of IMediaSample interface without availability of IMediaSample2. One might be curious what kind of software could provide such a weirdo in 2010? It is latest and greatest Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.1. Additionally to…
