cannam@85 56 <A NAME="ErrorReporting"></A>
cannam@85 57 <H3><BR>Error Reporting</H3>
cannam@85 58 <P>
cannam@85 59 Most of the API functions either return an integer error (ie <B>src_simple</B>
cannam@85 60 and <B>src_process</B>) or return an integer error value via an int pointer
cannam@85 61 parameter (<B>src_new</B>).
cannam@85 62 These integer error values can be converted into a human readable text strings by
cannam@85 63 calling the function:
cannam@85 64 </P>
cannam@85 65 <PRE>
cannam@85 66 const char* src_strerror (int error) ;
cannam@85 67 </PRE>
cannam@85 68 <P>
cannam@85 69 which will return an error string for valid error numbers, the string "No Error"
cannam@85 70 for an error value of zero or a NULL pointer if no error message has been defined
cannam@85 71 for that error value.
cannam@85 72 </P>
cannam@85 73
cannam@85 74 <A NAME="Converters"></A>
cannam@85 75 <H3><BR>Converters</H3>
cannam@85 76 <P>
cannam@85 77 Secret Rabbit Code has a number of different converters which can be selected
cannam@85 78 using the <B>converter_type</B> parameter when calling <B>src_simple</B> or
cannam@85 79 <b>src_new</B>.
cannam@85 80 Currently, the five converters available are:
cannam@85 81 </P>
cannam@85 82 <PRE>
cannam@85 83 enum
cannam@85 84 {
cannam@85 85 SRC_SINC_BEST_QUALITY = 0,
cannam@85 86 SRC_SINC_MEDIUM_QUALITY = 1,
cannam@85 87 SRC_SINC_FASTEST = 2,
cannam@85 88 SRC_ZERO_ORDER_HOLD = 3,
cannam@85 89 SRC_LINEAR = 4
cannam@85 90 } ;
cannam@85 91 </PRE>
cannam@85 92 <P>
cannam@85 93 As new converters are added, they will given a number corresponding to the
cannam@85 94 next inetger.
cannam@85 95 </P>
cannam@85 96
cannam@85 97 <P>
cannam@85 98 The details of these converters are as follows:
cannam@85 99 </P>
cannam@85 100 <UL>
cannam@85 101 <LI> <B>SRC_SINC_BEST_QUALITY</B> - This is a bandlimited interpolator derived
cannam@85 102 from the mathematical <B>sinc</B> function and this is the highest
cannam@85 103 quality sinc based converter, providing a worst case Signal-to-Noise
cannam@85 104 Ratio (SNR) of 97 decibels (dB) at a bandwidth of 97&#37;.
cannam@85 105 All three SRC_SINC_* converters are based on the techniques of
cannam@85 106 <A HREF="http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/~jos/resample/">Julius O. Smith</A>
cannam@85 107 although this code was developed independantly.
cannam@85 108 <LI> <B>SRC_SINC_MEDIUM_QUALITY</B> - This is another bandlimited interpolator
cannam@85 109 much like the previous one. It has an SNR of 97dB and a bandwidth of 90&#37;.
cannam@85 110 The speed of the conversion is much faster than the previous one.
cannam@85 111 <LI> <B>SRC_SINC_FASTEST</B> - This is the fastest bandlimited interpolator and
cannam@85 112 has an SNR of 97dB and a bandwidth of 80&#37;.
cannam@85 113 <LI><B>SRC_ZERO_ORDER_HOLD</B> - A Zero Order Hold converter (interpolated value
cannam@85 114 is equal to the last value). The quality is poor but the conversion speed is
cannam@85 115 blindlingly fast.
cannam@85 116 <li><b>SRC_LINEAR</b> - A linear converter. Again the quality is poor, but the
cannam@85 117 conversion speed is blindingly fast.
cannam@85 118 </UL>
cannam@85 119 <P>
cannam@85 120 There are two functions that give either a (text string) name or description
cannam@85 121 for each converter:
cannam@85 122 </P>
cannam@85 123 <PRE>
cannam@85 124 const char *src_get_name (int converter_type) ;
cannam@85 125 const char *src_get_description (int converter_type) ;
cannam@85 126 </PRE>
cannam@85 127 <P>
cannam@85 128 The name will typically be a short string for use in a dialog box, while the
cannam@85 129 description string is longer.
cannam@85 130 </P>
cannam@85 131 <P>
cannam@85 132 Both of these functions return a NULL pointer if there is no converter for the
cannam@85 133 given <B>converter_type</B> value.
cannam@85 134 Since the converters have consecutive <B>converter_type</B> values, the caller
cannam@85 135 is easily able to figure out the number of converters at run time.
cannam@85 136 This enables a binary dynamically linked against an old version of the library
cannam@85 137 to know about converters from later versions of the library as they become
cannam@85 138 available.
cannam@85 139 </P>
cannam@85 140
cannam@85 141 <A NAME="SRC_DATA"></A>
cannam@85 142 <H3><BR>SRC_DATA</H3>
cannam@85 143 <P>
cannam@85 144 Both the simple and the full featured versions of the API use the <B>SRC_DATA</B>
cannam@85 145 struct to pass audio and control data into the sample rate converter.
cannam@85 146 This struct is defined as:
cannam@85 147 </P>
cannam@85 148 <PRE>
cannam@85 149 typedef struct
cannam@85 150 { float *data_in, *data_out ;
cannam@85 151
cannam@85 152 long input_frames, output_frames ;
cannam@85 153 long input_frames_used, output_frames_gen ;
cannam@85 154
cannam@85 155 int end_of_input ;
cannam@85 156
cannam@85 157 double src_ratio ;
cannam@85 158 } SRC_DATA ;
cannam@85 159 </PRE>
cannam@85 160 <P>
cannam@85 161 The <B>data_in</B> pointer is used to pass audio data into the converter while the
cannam@85 162 <B>data_out</B> pointer supplies the converter with an array to hold the converter's
cannam@85 163 output.
cannam@85 164 For a converter which has been configured for mulitchannel operation, these pointers
cannam@85 165 need to point to a single array of interleaved data.
cannam@85 166 </P>
cannam@85 167 <P>
cannam@85 168 The <B>input_frames</B> and <B>output_frames</B> fields supply the converter with
cannam@85 169 the lengths of the arrays (in frames) pointed to by the <B>data_in</B> and
cannam@85 170 <b>data_out</B> pointers respectively.
cannam@85 171 For monophinc data, these values would indicate the length of the arrays while
cannam@85 172 for multi channel data these values would be equal to the the length of the array
cannam@85 173 divided by the number of channels.
cannam@85 174 </P>
cannam@85 175
cannam@85 176 <P>
cannam@85 177 The <B>end_of_input</B> field is only used when the sample rate converter is used
cannam@85 178 by calling the <B>src_process</B> function.
cannam@85 179 In this case it should be set to zero if more buffers are to be passed to the
cannam@85 180 converter and 1 if the current buffer is the last.
cannam@85 181 </P>
cannam@85 182 <P>
cannam@85 183 Finally, the <B>src_ratio</B> field specifies the conversion ratio defined as
cannam@85 184 the input sample rate divided by the output sample rate.
cannam@85 185 For a connected set of buffers, this value can be varies on each call to
cannam@85 186 <B>src_process</B> resulting in a time varying sample rate conversion
cannam@85 187 process.
cannam@85 188 For time varying sample rate conversions, the ratio will be linearly
cannam@85 189 interpolated between the <B>src_ratio</B> value of the previous call
cannam@85 190 to <B>src_process</B> and the value for the current call.
cannam@85 191 </P>
cannam@85 192 <P>
cannam@85 193 The <B>input_frames_used</B> and <B>output_frames_gen</B> fields are set by the
cannam@85 194 converter to inform the caller of the number of frames consumed from the
cannam@85 195 <B>data_in</B> array and the number of frames generated in the <B>data_out</B>
cannam@85 196 array respectively.
cannam@85 197 These values are for the current call to <B>src_process</B> only.
cannam@85 198 </P>
cannam@85 199
cannam@85 200 <A NAME="Aux"></A>
cannam@85 201 <H3><BR>Auxillary Functions</H3>
cannam@85 202 <P>
cannam@85 203 There are four auxillary functions for converting arrays of float data
cannam@85 204 to and from short or int data.
cannam@85 205 These functions are defined as:
cannam@85 206 </P>
cannam@85 207 <PRE>
cannam@85 208 void src_short_to_float_array (const short *in, float *out, int len) ;
cannam@85 209 void src_float_to_short_array (const float *in, short *out, int len) ;
cannam@85 210 void src_int_to_float_array (const int *in, float *out, int len) ;
cannam@85 211 void src_float_to_int_array (const float *in, int *out, int len) ;
cannam@85 212 </PRE>
cannam@85 213 <P>
cannam@85 214 The float data is assumed to be in the range [-1.0, 1.0] and it is
cannam@85 215 automatically scaled on the conversion to and from float.
cannam@85 216 On the float to short/int conversion path, any data values which would overflow
cannam@85 217 the range of short/int data are clipped.
cannam@85 218 </P>
