|
|
* arts sound server. What is provided is streaming functionality, in a
|
|
* blocking way. So for most apps, you simply remove the few system calls
|
|
* that deal with your audio device, and tqreplace them with the appropriate
|
|
* arts calls.

/**
|
|
* parameters for streams
|
|
*
|
|
* @li ARTS_P_BUFFER_SIZE (rw)
|
|
* The size of the internal buffers used for streaming to the server - this
|
|
* directly affects the latency that will occur. If you never set it
|
|
* explicitly, this value defaults to at least 65536 (64kb). Generally,
|
|
* it is important to know that the server itself gives some constraints
|
|
* which makes buffer sizes below a certain value impossible. So setting
|
|
* this parameter will always result in either getting what you wanted,
|
|
* or a larger streaming buffer due to server limitations.
|
|
*
|
|
* @li ARTS_P_BUFFER_TIME (rw)
|
|
* The time the buffer used for streaming to the server takes to play in
|
|
* milliseconds. This is just a more human readable method to set the buffer
|
|
* size, so setting ARTS_P_BUFFER_SIZE affects this parameter and the other
|
|
* way round. As aRts chooses reasonable buffer sizes for streaming (rather
|
|
* 3*16kb than 40234 bytes), setting this parameter will often end up with
|
|
* a slightly larger value than you requested.
|
|
*
|
|
* @li ARTS_P_BUFFER_SPACE (r)
|
|
* The amount of bytes that can be read/written without blocking (depending
|
|
* whether this is a record or play stream). As requesting this parameter
|
|
* does a few system calls (but no remote invocation) to verify that it is
|
|
* up-to-date, don't overuse it.
|
|
*
|
|
* @li ARTS_P_SERVER_LATENCY (r)
|
|
* The amount of latency the server creates (due to hardware buffering)
|
|
* in milliseconds.
|
|
*
|
|
* @li ARTS_P_TOTAL_LATENCY (r)
|
|
* The overall latency in milliseconds it takes (at most), from the time
|
|
* when you write a byte into a stream, until it gets played on the
|
|
* soundcard. This is simply a shortcut to the sum of ARTS_P_BUFFER_TIME
|
|
* and ARTS_P_SERVER_LATENCY.
|
|
*
|
|
* @li ARTS_P_BLOCKING (rw)
|
|
* If this parameter is 1 (the default), arts_read/arts_write will block
|
|
* when not all data can be read/written successfully, and wait until it
|
|
* works. If this parameter is 0, arts_read/arts_write will return
|
|
* the number of successfully read/written bytes immediately.
|
|
*
|
|
* @li ARTS_P_PACKET_SIZE (r)
|
|
* This returns the size of the packets used for buffering. The optimal
|
|
* size for arts_stream_write is always writing one packet. The buffering of
|
|
* streams works with audio packets. So the ARTS_P_BUFFER_SIZE parameter of
|
|
* streams (which specifies how many bytes of a stream are prebuffered),
|
|
* really consists of (ARTS_P_PACKET_SIZE) * (ARTS_P_PACKET_COUNT).
|
|
*
|
|
* @li ARTS_P_PACKET_COUNT (r)
|
|
* This returns the number of the packets are used for buffering. See
|
|
* ARTS_P_PACKET_SIZE for more.
|
|
*
|
|
* @li ARTS_P_PACKET_SETTINGS (rw)
|
|
* This is a way to configure packet size & packet count at the same time.
|
|
* The format is 0xCCCCSSSS, where 2^SSSS is the packet size, and CCCC is
|
|
* the packet count. Note that when writing this, you don't necessarily
|
|
* get the settings you requested.
