Write Sound to pipe (fifo).

[jonathan.ruiz]

Hello,

My name is Jonathan, I am working on a media streaming software.

Now, I for video I have a RenderTarget that I write to a named pipe in raw, I catch this data with ffmpeg and I stream it by multicast.

I need to do the same but with the audio (Music). What is the best form to do that?

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan.

Do you mean that you want to send the rendered audio through a pipe? You can't, the audio module has no "memory renderer", everything that you play ends up in your default device (i.e. your speakers), you can't make a redirection.

I know that in the current release it is impossible.

I'm thinking on create a new class extending "SoundRecorder" like "SoundBufferRecorder".
In the "onProcessSamples" method I can write it to a filename in real time (fifo in my case).

What I want is to develop it in the correct way to include it in the next release. I think that feature can be useful to other people.

Thanks.

But it's not about recording audio from your microphone, is it? You rather want to "record" everything that is played, right? Or did I misunderstand your request?
