Constructor & Destructor Documentation

WavAudioFormat::WavAudioFormat (  )

Creates a format object.

WavAudioFormat::~WavAudioFormat (  )

Destructor.

static StringPairArray WavAudioFormat::createBWAVMetadata ( const String description,
const String originator,
const String originatorRef,
const Time dateAndTime,
const int64  timeReferenceSamples,
const String codingHistory 
) [static]

Utility function to fill out the appropriate metadata for a BWAV file.

This just makes it easier than using the property names directly, and it fills out the time and date in the right format.

const Array<int> WavAudioFormat::getPossibleSampleRates (  ) [virtual]

Returns a set of sample rates that the format can read and write.

Implements AudioFormat.

const Array<int> WavAudioFormat::getPossibleBitDepths (  ) [virtual]

Returns a set of bit depths that the format can read and write.

Implements AudioFormat.

bool WavAudioFormat::canDoStereo (  ) [virtual]

Returns true if the format can do 2-channel audio.

Implements AudioFormat.

bool WavAudioFormat::canDoMono (  ) [virtual]

Returns true if the format can do 1-channel audio.

Implements AudioFormat.

AudioFormatReader* WavAudioFormat::createReaderFor ( InputStream sourceStream,
bool  deleteStreamIfOpeningFails 
) [virtual]

Tries to create an object that can read from a stream containing audio data in this format.

The reader object that is returned can be used to read from the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

Parameters:
sourceStreamthe stream to read from - the AudioFormatReader object that is returned will delete this stream when it no longer needs it.
deleteStreamIfOpeningFailsif no reader can be created, this determines whether this method should delete the stream object that was passed-in. (If a valid reader is returned, it will always be in charge of deleting the stream, so this parameter is ignored)

AudioFormatReader

Implements AudioFormat.

AudioFormatWriter* WavAudioFormat::createWriterFor ( OutputStream streamToWriteTo,
double  sampleRateToUse,
unsigned int  numberOfChannels,
int  bitsPerSample,
const StringPairArray metadataValues,
int  qualityOptionIndex 
) [virtual]

Tries to create an object that can write to a stream with this audio format.

The writer object that is returned can be used to write to the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

If the stream can't be created for some reason (e.g. the parameters passed in here aren't suitable), this will return 0.

Parameters:
streamToWriteTothe stream that the data will go to - this will be deleted by the AudioFormatWriter object when it's no longer needed. If no AudioFormatWriter can be created by this method, the stream will NOT be deleted, so that the caller can re-use it to try to open a different format, etc
sampleRateToUsethe sample rate for the file, which must be one of the ones returned by getPossibleSampleRates()
numberOfChannelsthe number of channels - this must be either 1 or 2, and the choice will depend on the results of canDoMono() and canDoStereo()
bitsPerSamplethe bits per sample to use - this must be one of the values returned by getPossibleBitDepths()
metadataValuesa set of metadata values that the writer should try to write to the stream. Exactly what these are depends on the format, and the subclass doesn't actually have to do anything with them if it doesn't want to. Have a look at the specific format implementation classes to see possible values that can be used
qualityOptionIndexthe index of one of compression qualities returned by the getQualityOptions() method. If there aren't any quality options for this format, just pass 0 in this parameter, as it'll be ignored

AudioFormatWriter

Implements AudioFormat.

bool WavAudioFormat::replaceMetadataInFile ( const File wavFile,
const StringPairArray newMetadata 
)

Utility function to replace the metadata in a wav file with a new set of values.

If possible, this cheats by overwriting just the metadata region of the file, rather than by copying the whole file again.

Metadata property name used by wav readers and writers for adding a BWAV chunk to the file.

This is the number of samples from the start of an edit that the file is supposed to begin at. Seems like an obvious mistake to only allow a file to occur in an edit once, but that's the way it is..
