<p>This document describes how to implement the PortAudio API on a new
|
|
computer platform. Implementing PortAudio on a new platform, makes it possible
|
|
to port many existing audio applications to that platform.

|
|
So when you have finished a new implementation, please send it back to
|
|
us at "<a href="http://www.portaudio.com">http://www.portaudio.com</a>"
|
|
so that we can make it available for other users. Thank you!
|
|
<h2>
|
|
Download the Latest PortAudio Implementation</h2>
|
|
Always start with the latest implementation available at "<a href="http://www.portaudio.com">http://www.portaudio.com</a>".
|
|
Look for the nightly snapshot under the CVS section.
|
|
<h2>
|
|
Select an Existing Implementation as a Basis</h2>
|
|
The fastest way to get started is to take an existing implementation and
|
|
translate it for your new platform. Choose an implementation whose architecture
|
|
is as close as possible to your target.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
DirectSound Implementation - pa_win_ds - Uses a timer callback for the
|
|
background "thread". Polls a circular buffer and writes blocks of data
|
|
to keep it full.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Windows MME - pa_win_wmme - Spawns an actual Win32 thread. Writes blocks
|
|
of data to the HW device and waits for events that signal buffer completion.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Linux OSS - pa_linux - Spawns a real thread that writes to the "/dev/dsp"
|
|
stream using blocking I/O calls.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
When you write a new implementation, you will be using some code that is
|
|
in common with all implementations. This code is in the folder "pa_common".
|
|
It provides various functions such as parameter checking, error code to
|
|
text conversion, sample format conversion, clipping and dithering, etc.
|
|
<p>The code that you write will go into a separate folder called "pa_{os}_{api}".
|
|
For example, code specific to the DirectSound interface for Windows goes
|
|
in "pa_win_ds".

Famialiarize yourself with the system by reading the documentation provided.
|

here is a suggested order:
|

<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
User Programming <a href="pa_tutorial.html">Tutorial</a></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Header file "pa_common/portaudio.h" which defines API.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Header file "pa_common/pa_host.h" for host dependant code. This definces
|
|
the routine you will need to provide.</li>

<li>
|
|
Shared code in "pa_common/pa_lib.c".</li>

<h2>
|
|
Implement Output to Default Device</h2>
|
|
Now we are ready to crank some code. For instant gratification, let's try
|
|
to play a sine wave.
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Link the test program "pa_tests/patest_sine.c" with the file "pa_lib.c"
|
|
and the implementation specific file you are creating.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
For now, just stub out the device query code and the audio input code.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Modify PaHost_OpenStream() to open your default target device and get everything
|
|
setup.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Modify PaHost_StartOutput() to start playing audio.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Modify PaHost_StopOutput() to stop audio.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Modify PaHost_CloseStream() to clean up. Free all memory that you allocated
|
|
in PaHost_OpenStream().</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Keep cranking until you can play a sine wave using "patest_sine.c".</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Once that works, try "patest_pink.c", "patest_clip.c", "patest_sine8.c".</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
To test your Open and Close code, try "patest_many.c".</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Now test to make sure that the three modes of stopping are properly supported
|
|
by running "patest_stop.c".</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Test your implementation of time stamping with "patest_sync.c".</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>
|
|
Implement Device Queries</h2>
|
|
Now that output is working, lets implement the code for querying what devices
|
|
are available to the user. Run "pa_tests/pa_devs.c". It should print all
|
|
of the devices available and their characteristics.
|
|
<h2>
|
|
Implement Input</h2>
|
|
Implement audio input and test it with:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
patest_record.c - record in half duplex, play back as recorded.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
patest_wire.c - full duplex, copies input to output. Note that some HW
|
|
may not support full duplex.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
patest_fuzz.c - plug in your guitar and get a feel for why latency is an
|
|
important issue in computer music.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
paqa_devs.c - try to open every device and use it with every possible format</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|

<h2>
|
|
Debugging Tools</h2>
|
|
You generally cannot use printf() calls to debug real-time processes because
|
|
they disturb the timing. Also calling printf() from your background thread
|
|
or interrupt could crash the machine. So PA includes a tool for capturing
|
|
events and storing the information while it is running. It then prints
|
|
the events when Pa_Terminate() is called.
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
To enable trace mode, change TRACE_REALTIME_EVENTS in "pa_common/pa_trace.h"
|
|
from a (0) to a (1).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Link with "pa_common/pa_trace.c".</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Add trace messages to your code by calling:</li>
|
|
|
|
<br><tt> void AddTraceMessage( char *msg, int data );</tt>
|
|
<br><tt>for example</tt>
|
|
<br><tt> AddTraceMessage("Pa_TimeSlice: past_NumCallbacks ",
|
|
past->past_NumCallbacks );</tt>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Run your program. You will get a dump of events at the end.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
You can leave the trace messages in your code. They will turn to NOOPs
|
|
when you change TRACE_REALTIME_EVENTS back to (0).</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>
|
|
Delivery</h2>
|
|
Please send your new code along with notes on the implementation back to
|
|
us at "<a href="http://www.portaudio.com">http://www.portaudio.com</a>".
|
|
We will review the implementation and post it with your name. If you had
|
|
to make any modifications to the code in "pa_common" or "pa_tests" <b>please</b>
|
|
send us those modifications and your notes. We will try to merge your changes
|
|
so that the "pa_common" code works with <b>all</b> implementations.
|
|
<p>If you have suggestions for how to make future implementations easier,
|
|
please let us know.
|
|
<br>THANKS!
