Linux 获取音频ALSA API编程

ALSA Programming HOWTO

根据ALSA写一简单的PCM应用程序,我们首先需要为PCM设备打开一个句柄(Handle),然后指定PCM流的方向是播放或者是捕获(playback还是capture),我们也可以配置一些我们想要的参数,比如,buffer size, sample rate, pcm数据格式等.因此我们就有了一个大体的框架了,简单高效,如下:

/* Handle for the PCM device */ 声明一个设备句柄.
    snd_pcm_t *pcm_handle;          

    /* Playback stream */ 设置音频流的方向为播放
    snd_pcm_stream_t stream = SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK;

    /* This structure contains information about    */声明一个硬件配置结构,用来配置相应的参数.
    /* the hardware and can be used to specify the  */      
    /* configuration to be used for the PCM stream. */ 
    snd_pcm_hw_params_t *hwparams;

PCM设备在ALSA的接口有"plughw"和"hw",接口,不过我们这里使用默认的接口"default",

char *pcm_name;//定义设备名称
pcm_name = strdup("default");

然后我们分配一个硬件配置结构体

/* Allocate the snd_pcm_hw_params_t structure on the stack. */
    snd_pcm_hw_params_alloca(&hwparams);

现在我们可以打开设备了,

/* Open PCM. The last parameter of this function is the mode. */
    /* If this is set to 0, the standard mode is used. Possible   */
    /* other values are SND_PCM_NONBLOCK and SND_PCM_ASYNC.       */ 
    /* If SND_PCM_NONBLOCK is used, read / write access to the    */
    /* PCM device will return immediately. If SND_PCM_ASYNC is    */
    /* specified, SIGIO will be emitted whenever a period has     *
