Function Documentation

int snd_pcm_ioplug_create	(	snd_pcm_ioplug_t *	ioplug,
		const char *	name,
		snd_pcm_stream_t	stream,
		int	mode
	)

Create an ioplug instance.

Parameters

ioplug	the ioplug handle
name	name of PCM
stream	stream direction
mode	PCM open mode

Returns

0 if successful, or a negative error code

Creates the ioplug instance.

The callback is the mandatory field of ioplug handle. At least, start, stop and pointer callbacks must be set before calling this function.

int snd_pcm_ioplug_delete

(

snd_pcm_ioplug_t *

ioplug

)

Delete the ioplug instance.

Parameters

ioplug

the ioplug handle

Returns

0 if successful, or a negative error code

const snd_pcm_channel_area_t* snd_pcm_ioplug_mmap_areas

(

snd_pcm_ioplug_t *

ioplug

)

Get mmap area of ioplug.

Parameters

ioplug

the ioplug handle

Returns

the mmap channel areas if available, or NULL

Returns the mmap channel areas if available. When mmap_rw field is not set, this function always returns NULL.

void snd_pcm_ioplug_params_reset

(

snd_pcm_ioplug_t *

ioplug

)

Reset ioplug parameters.

Parameters

ioplug

the ioplug handle

Resets the all parameters for the given ioplug handle.

int snd_pcm_ioplug_reinit_status

(

snd_pcm_ioplug_t *

ioplug

)

Reinitialize the poll and mmap status.

Parameters

ioplug

the ioplug handle

Returns

0 if successful, or a negative error code

Reinitializes the poll and the mmap status of the PCM. Call this function to propagate the status change in the ioplug instance to its PCM internals.

int snd_pcm_ioplug_set_param_list	(	snd_pcm_ioplug_t *	ioplug,
		int	type,
		unsigned int	num_list,
		const unsigned int *	list
	)

Set parameter as the list.

Parameters

ioplug	the ioplug handle
type	parameter type
num_list	number of available values
list	the list of available values

Returns

0 if successful, or a negative error code

Sets the parameter as the list. The available values of the given parameter type is restricted to the ones of the given list.

int snd_pcm_ioplug_set_param_minmax	(	snd_pcm_ioplug_t *	ioplug,
		int	type,
		unsigned int	min,
		unsigned int	max
	)

Set parameter as the min/max values.

Parameters

ioplug	the ioplug handle
type	parameter type
min	the minimum value
max	the maximum value

Returns

0 if successful, or a negative error code

Sets the parameter as the min/max values. The available values of the given parameter type is restricted between the given minimum and maximum values.

int snd_pcm_ioplug_set_state	(	snd_pcm_ioplug_t *	ioplug,
		snd_pcm_state_t	state
	)

Change the ioplug PCM status.

Parameters

ioplug	the ioplug handle
state	the PCM status

Returns

zero if successful or a negative error code

Changes the PCM status of the ioplug to the given value. This function can be used for external plugins to notify the status change, e.g. XRUN.
