Starting and Stopping a Stream</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<blockquote>The stream will not start running until you call Pa_StartStream().
|
||
|
|
Then it will start calling your callback function to perform the audio
|
||
|
|
processing.
|
||
|
|
<blockquote>
|
||
|
|
<pre>err = Pa_StartStream( stream );
|
||
|
|
if( err != paNoError ) goto error;</pre>
|
||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
||
|
|
At this point, audio is being generated. You can communicate to your callback
|
||
|
|
routine through the data structure you passed in on the open call, or through
|
||
|
|
global variables, or using other interprocess communication techniques.
|
||
|
|
Please be aware that your callback function may be called at interrupt
|
||
|
|
time when your foreground process is least expecting it. So avoid sharing
|
||
|
|
complex data structures that are easily corrupted like double linked lists.
|
||
|
|
<p>In many of the tests we simply sleep for a few seconds so we can hear
|
||
|
|
the sound. This is easy to do with Pa_Sleep() which will sleep for some
|
||
|
|
number of milliseconds. Do not rely on this function for accurate scheduling.
|
||
|
|
it is mostly for writing examples.
|
||
|
|
<blockquote>
|
||
|
|
<pre>/* Sleep for several seconds. */
|
||
|
|
Pa_Sleep(NUM_SECONDS*1000);</pre>
|
||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
||
|
|
When you are through, you can stop the stream from the foreground.
|
||
|
|
<blockquote>
|
||
|
|
<pre>err = Pa_StopStream( stream );
|
||
|
|
if( err != paNoError ) goto error;</pre>
|
||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
||
|
|
You can also stop the stream by returning 1 from your custom callback function.</blockquote>
