Functions



AudioDriverPlugInClose


Closes an instance of the driver plug-in.
extern OSStatus AudioDriverPlugInClose (
    AudioDeviceID inDevice
);
Parameter Descriptions
inDevice
The AudioDeviceID that describes the device who's plug-in instance is being closed.
function result
An OSStatus indicating success or failure.

AudioDriverPlugInDeviceGetProperty


Queries an the AudioDevice object to get the data of the given property and places it in the provided buffer.
extern OSStatus AudioDriverPlugInDeviceGetProperty (
    AudioDeviceID inDevice,
    UInt32 inChannel,
    Boolean isInput,
    AudioDevicePropertyID inPropertyID,
    UInt32* ioPropertyDataSize,
    void* outPropertyData
);
Parameter Descriptions
inDevice
The AudioDevice to query.
inChannel
The channel of the property to query where 0 is the master channel.
isInput
Which section of the AudioDevice to query.
inPropertyID
The AudioDevicePropertyID of the property to query.
ioPropertyDataSize
A UInt32 which on entry indicates the size of the buffer pointed to by outData and on exit indicates how much of the buffer was used.
outPropertyData
The buffer into which the object will put the data for the given property.
function result
An OSStatus indicating success or failure. Note that if the plug-in does not implement the given property, it should return kAudioHardwareUnknownPropertyError to ensure that the HAL handles the property normally.

AudioDriverPlugInDeviceGetPropertyInfo


Retrieve information about the given property of an AudioDevice.
extern OSStatus AudioDriverPlugInDeviceGetPropertyInfo (
    AudioDeviceID inDevice,
    UInt32 inChannel,
    Boolean isInput,
    AudioDevicePropertyID inPropertyID,
    UInt32* outSize,
    Boolean* outWritable
);
Parameter Descriptions
inDevice
The AudioDevice to query.
inChannel
The channel of the property to query where 0 is the master channel.
isInput
Which section of the AudioDevice to query.
inPropertyID
The AudioDevicePropertyID of the property to query.
outSize
A pointer to a UInt32 that receives the size of the property data in bytes on exit. This can be NULL if the size information is not being requested.
outWritable
A pointer to a Boolean that receives indication of whether or not the given property can be set. This can be NULL if the writability is not being requested.
function result
An OSStatus indicating success or failure. Note that if the plug-in does not implement the given property, it should return kAudioHardwareUnknownPropertyError to ensure that the HAL handles the property normally.

AudioDriverPlugInDeviceSetProperty


Tells the AudioDevice object to change the value of the given property using the provided data.
extern OSStatus AudioDriverPlugInDeviceSetProperty (
    AudioDeviceID inDevice,
    const AudioTimeStamp* inWhen,
    UInt32 inChannel,
    Boolean isInput,
    AudioDevicePropertyID inPropertyID,
    UInt32 inPropertyDataSize,
    const void* inPropertyData
);
Discussion

Note that the value of the property should not be considered changed until the HAL has called the listeners as many properties values are changed asynchronously.

Parameter Descriptions
inDevice
The AudioDevice to change.
inWhen
A pointer to an AudioTimeStamp that says when to change the property's value relative to the device's time base. NULL means execute the change immediately.
inChannel
The channel of the property to change where 0 is the master channel.
isInput
Which section of the AudioDevice to change.
inPropertyID
The AudioDevicePropertyID of the property to change.
inPropertyDataSize
A UInt32 indicating the size of the buffer pointed to by inData.
inPropertyData
The buffer containing the data to be used to change the property's value.
function result
An OSStatus indicating success or failure. Note that if the plug-in does not implement the given property, it should return kAudioHardwareUnknownPropertyError to ensure that the HAL handles the property normally.

AudioDriverPlugInOpen


Instantiates a new instance of the driver plug-in.
extern OSStatus AudioDriverPlugInOpen (
    AudioDriverPlugInHostInfo* inHostInfo
);
Parameter Descriptions
inHostInfo
An AudioDriverPlugInHostInfo struct that tells the plug-in what device it is being instantiated for.
function result
An OSStatus indicating success or failure.

AudioDriverPlugInStreamGetProperty


Queries an the AudioStream object to get the data of the given property and places it in the provided buffer.
extern OSStatus AudioDriverPlugInStreamGetProperty (
    AudioDeviceID inDevice,
    io_object_t inIOAudioStream,
    UInt32 inChannel,
    AudioDevicePropertyID inPropertyID,
    UInt32* ioPropertyDataSize,
    void* outPropertyData
);
Parameter Descriptions
inDevice
The AudioDevice who's stream is being queried.
inIOAudioStream
The IOAudioStream to query.
inChannel
The channel of the property to query where 0 is the master channel.
inPropertyID
The AudioDevicePropertyID of the property to query.
ioPropertyDataSize
A UInt32 which on entry indicates the size of the buffer pointed to by outData and on exit indicates how much of the buffer was used.
outPropertyData
The buffer into which the object will put the data for the given property.
function result
An OSStatus indicating success or failure. Note that if the plug-in does not implement the given property, it should return kAudioHardwareUnknownPropertyError to ensure that the HAL handles the property normally.

AudioDriverPlugInStreamGetPropertyInfo

extern OSStatus AudioDriverPlugInStreamGetPropertyInfo (
    AudioDeviceID inDevice,
