DVRRDK_01.06.00.11 ALSA audio capture each channel

Dear all,

Our application is for DVR. So, I use the DM8168EVM(DVRRDK_01_06_00_11)  to test the alsa audio channel. 

I don't know How maps audio buffer.

anyone konws total single stream size and each channels offset size? 

how can i save channel 0 audio stream and channel 1 audio stream ? 

thanks all.

  • Hi,

    Audio channel data interleave length is 1 <1 audio sample - 16bits>, but channel 0 data might not map to your tmp_buffer[0]. Physical channel to S/W audio data channel mapping is not one-to-one.

    Please migrate to latest DVR RDK version & refer audio_capture.c, audio_play.c to get the required details.

    Best Regards,

    Sivagamy

  • Thank you Sivagamy

    I get the DVR RDK from Udworks, current version is 01_06_00_11

    before get latest DVR RDK , can i get audio_capture.c , audio_play.c . 

    i want to reference audio_capture.c and audio_play.c in advance

    Best Regards.

    Cho.
