Re: Java Audio Help (Mixers and Ports)

KWhat4 wrote:

I don't know if you are a C programmer or not but there is an
incongruity between C and Java naming in the audio business. In Java
Ports are used to get controls, like volume and frame etc. Lines are
used to capture or play audio data. SourceDataLines play,
TargetDataLines capture. Mixers are really complicated as they can have
Ports, SDLs and TDLs associated with them but may not.

Below is a simple example that gets audio data from a URL and plays it
by sending it to a SourceDataLine. See the comments in the source for
details.

Below that is a Sun program to list the ports on your computer. I'm
sorry it is formatted so poorly but that is the way it is.

public class AudioExample {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
         // get all the mixers
         Mixer.Info[] mixInfo = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
         System.out.println("Mixers");
         for (int i=0; i<mixInfo.length; i++)
             System.out.println(" " + mixInfo[i].toString());

         // this is just source data, you can use whatever here
         // this file is from JavaSound, it is over 400k so might
         // take a while to download
         URL url = new URL("http://www.knutejohnson.com/22-new.aif");
         AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(url);

         // format will probably be determined by source as in this case
         AudioFormat af = ais.getFormat();
         System.out.println(af.toString());

         // get a SDL with specified format from specified mixer
         SourceDataLine sdl = AudioSystem.getSourceDataLine(af,mixInfo[=

         // open requires the format too
         sdl.open(af);
         // no sound until SDL is started
         sdl.start();

         // read and write
         byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
         int bytesRead;
         while ((bytesRead = ais.read(buf)) != -1)
             sdl.write(buf,0,bytesRead);

         ais.close();

         // empty the buffer
         sdl.drain();
         // stop the line
         sdl.stop();
         // close it cause we're done
         sdl.close();
     }
