NAME

capture_audio - Setup an audio device capture stream

SYNOPSIS

AID or NIL
capture_audio( devstr )

DESCRIPTION

This function is used for mapping an external capture device (e.g. a microphone) to an AID that can be used for monitoring (like forwarding to a recordtarget or a frameserver that does audio processing for voice recognition and similar features).

NOTES

1

The device must be supported by the underlying sound support system (and emitt audio data that matches the compile-time defined format, e.g. 44100/16bit/2ch LE 16 samples) and must match a valid entry as provided by list_audio_inputs

EXAMPLE

function capture_audio0()


      a = list_audio_inputs();


      b = capture_audio(a[1]);
end

MISUSE

function capture_audio0()


      b = capture_audio(-1);
end
