hello all,I have write a alsa app from a example from internet.The original code is good running. format 16bitchannel 2rate 44100/* This example reads from the default PCM device and writes to standard output for 5 seconds of data. */ /* Use the newer ALSA API */ #define ALSA_PCM_NEW_HW_PARAMS_API #include <alsa/asoundlib.h> int main() { long loops; int rc; int size; snd_pcm_t *handle; snd_pcm_hw_params_t *params; unsigned int val; int dir; snd_pcm_uframes_t frames; char *buffer; /* Open PCM device for recording (capture). */ rc = snd_pcm_open(&handle, "default", SND_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE, 0); if (rc < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "unable to open pcm device: %s\n", snd_strerror(rc)); exit(1); } /* Allocate a hardware parameters object. */ snd_pcm_hw_params_alloca(&params); /* Fill it in with default values. */ snd_pcm_hw_params_any(handle, params); /* Set the desired hardware parameters. */ /* Interleaved mode */ snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(handle, params, SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED); /* Signed 16-bit little-endian format */ snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(handle, params, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE); /* Two channels (stereo) */ snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels(handle, params, 2); /* 44100 bits/second sampling rate (CD quality) */ val = 44100; snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near(handle, params, &val, &dir); /* Set period size to 32 frames. */ frames = 32; snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size_near(handle, params, &frames, &dir); /* Write the parameters to the driver */ rc = snd_pcm_hw_params(handle, params); if (rc < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "unable to set hw parameters: %s\n", snd_strerror(rc)); exit(1); } /* Use a buffer large enough to hold one period */ snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size(params, &frames, &dir); size = frames * 4; /* 2 bytes/sample, 2 channels */ buffer = (char *) malloc(size); /* We want to loop for 5 seconds */ snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_time(params, &val, &dir); loops = 5000000 / val; while (loops > 0) { loops--; rc = snd_pcm_readi(handle, buffer, frames); if (rc == -EPIPE) { /* EPIPE means overrun */ fprintf(stderr, "overrun occurred\n"); snd_pcm_prepare(handle); } else if (rc < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "error from read: %s\n", snd_strerror(rc)); } else if (rc != (int)frames) { fprintf(stderr, "short read, read %d frames\n", rc); } rc = write(1, buffer, size); if (rc != size) fprintf(stderr, "short write: wrote %d bytes\n", rc); } snd_pcm_drain(handle); snd_pcm_close(handle); free(buffer); return 0; } now I want to change channel and format to write my own programm.format = 8bit, 24bit and 32bitchannel = 1 or 2how can i change the parameters in frames and buffer size.for each format 8/16/24/32bit how to set frames = ?and alsa channel 1/2 how to set buffersize??? I try many times and failed .I want your help. thanks!! _________________________________________________________________ Spielspaß für Jedermann!
