alAudioFrame
Syntax
#include <libaudio.h>
Acmd *alAudioFrame(Acmd *cmdList, s32 *cmdLen, s16 *outBuf, s32 outLen);
Arguments
- cmdList is the pointer to the location at which to start writing the audio command list
- cmdLen is the pointer to the location where alAudioFrame is to write the length of the command list it generates
- outBuf is the pointer to the DRAM location where the audio microcode, when executing the audio command list generated by alAudioFrame, is to write the synthesized audio samples
- outLen is the number of stereo samples that the audio command list is to generate.
Explanation
It generates an audio
command list that, when executed on the RSP, puts a buffer of
outLen-synthesized stereo samples at the DRAM location specified
by outBuf. An audio command list is a sequence of commands or directions
that is interpreted by the RSP audio microcode as describing how
audio is to be synthesized. The outBuf should contain four bytes for each sample
requested by outLen because stereo 16-bit samples are
generated. The alAudioFrame function writes the length, in number of RSP
commands (each eight bytes long), of the command list it generates to
the signed 32-bit value pointed to by the cmdLen argument. It also returns a
pointer to the next available command list location.
If there are no players associated with the synthesizer, alAudioFrame sets cmdLen to zero and the application should not send the task
to the RSP.
Note that alAudioFrame does not actually cause the command list to be executed.
