AudioFileStream Class

Definition

Namespace:

AudioToolbox

Assembly:

Xamarin.iOS.dll

Process partial audio files.

public class AudioFileStream : IDisposable

type AudioFileStream = class
    interface IDisposable

Inheritance

Object

AudioFileStream

Implements

IDisposable

Remarks

You use AudioFileStream when you want to decode audio content that does not live in an local file or if you want to decode it in chunks. New data is fed into the AudioFileStream using one of the ParseBytes method and decoded audio is provided on the PacketDecoded event (or the OnPacketDecoded virtual method) and information about the stream is raised on the PropertyFound event (or the OnPropertyFound virtual method).

This can be used to parse audio files when you are streaming audio from the network for example.

The methods and properties in this class update the LastError property to track any potential errors during parsing, but without throwing an exception.

Constructors

AudioFileStream(AudioFileType)

Creates a new instance of this object.

Fields

PacketDecoded	This event is raised when a packet has been decoded.
PropertyFound	This event is raised when a property has been found on the decoded data.

Properties

AverageBytesPerPacket	Average bytes per packet. This value is precise for audio files with constant bit rates or audio files that have a packet index, otherwise it is a computed average.
BitRate	The stream's bit rate in bits per second.
ChannelLayout	The channel layout for the audio stream.
DataByteCount	For streams whose length is known, the number of audio byte data.
DataFormat	Format of the data (as an AudioStreamBasicDescription
DataOffset	Offset of the audio date from the beginning of the audio file stream.
DataPacketCount	The number of audio packets on the audio file stream.
FileType	The audio file type for the audio stream.
FormatList	List of formats supported by the audio stream.
LastError	Contains the latest error code set by one of the methods in AudioFileStream.
MagicCookie	The magic cookie for this file.
MaximumPacketSize	Maximum packet size for data on the audio file stream
PacketSizeUpperBound	The largest possible packet size.
PacketTableInfo	Contains information about the valid frames in the audio file stream (their start and end).
ReadyToProducePackets	Set to true once the file stream parser has read enough of the headers to be able to produce audio packets.
StreamBasicDescription	Format of the data

Methods

ByteToPacket(Int64, Int32, Boolean)	Maps a position in the file to an audio packet.
Close()	Closes (and disposes the audio stream).
Dispose()	Releases the resources used by the AudioFileStream object.
Dispose(Boolean)	Releases the resources used by the AudioFileStream object.
Finalize()	Finalizer for the AudioFileStream object
FrameToPacket(Int64, Int32)	Returns the packet number and the frame offset in the packet (on the out parameter) corresponding to the requested audio frame.
GetProperty(AudioFileStreamProperty, Int32)	Low-level routine used to fetch arbitrary property values from the underlying AudioFileStream object.
GetProperty(AudioFileStreamProperty, Int32, IntPtr)	Low-level routine used to fetch arbitrary property values from the underlying AudioFileStream object.
OnPacketDecoded(Int32, IntPtr, AudioStreamPacketDescription[])	Invoked when a packet has been decoded.
OnPropertyFound(AudioFileStreamProperty, AudioFileStreamPropertyFlag)	Invoked when a propety is found.
PacketToByte(Int64, Boolean)	Maps a packet number to a byte number in the audio file stream.
PacketToFrame(Int64)	Maps a packet number to an audio frame number in the audio file stream.
ParseBytes(Byte[], Boolean)	Parse and decode the array of bytes provided.
ParseBytes(Byte[], Int32, Int32, Boolean)	Parses and decode a portion of the array of bytes provided.
ParseBytes(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean)	Parse and decode the block of data provided.
Seek(Int64, Int64, Boolean)	Maps the absolute file offset for the specified packetOffset.
SetProperty(AudioFileStreamProperty, Int32, IntPtr)	Low-level property setting API. Use the exposed managed properties instead.
