Hello!
I've programmed an App for the PlayBook which does some heavy sound-analysis using asoundlib.h. Therefore, I need a rather large sample size at a rate of 44.1kHz. Using the SDK for the PlayBook, everything worked, but when i tried to port it to BB10, I stumbled upon some Problems.
I've testet AduiLoopBackSample as well and these problems occur there as well ( everyone can download the sample at https://github.com/blackberry/Core-Native-Communit
When setting VOIP_SAMPLE_RATE = 44100; (line 62) in audiopcm.cpp, the outcome of the method capture() (line 430ff) differs, depending on what is set for PREFERRED_FRAME_SIZE (line 61).
- Everything up to a value of 2824 works as expected, the fragment-size is about the same as PREFERRED_FRAME_SIZE (line 333)
- Above a value of 2824 - until a value of 3527 - the method snd_pcm_plugin_read() (line 449) returns an error-message: -22 : -EINVAL: Partial block buffering is disabled, but the size isn't the full block size. [See: http://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentati
on/bb10/com.qnx.doc.neutrino.audio/topic/libs/snd_ ... ] - For values 3528 and above, everything works again, but the the fragment-size (line 333) is always set to 2824, independent of what is set for PREFERRED_FRAME_SIZE.
Now, I need more than 1412 samples (=2824/2, because of low- and high-bit) to assure a certain degree of accuracy. But as it is, I can't get more than this number of samples because the method snd_pcm_plugin_read() either returns an error or the fragment-size is fixed to 2824.
About the error: snd_pcm_plugin_read() should already enable Partial block buffering (as I've understood it), but I also used snd_pcm_plugin_set_enable(pcm_handle, PLUGIN_BUFFER_PARTIAL_BLOCKS) to be sure.
Has anyone further inside into this issue an can direct me to someone, who has?
Both my code as well as AudioLoopBackSample where tested on a Dev Alpha A and B device.
Kind regards,
Uwe
