View Source Membrane PortAudio plugin

Hex.pm API Docs CircleCI

The plugin that captures and plays sound using the multiplatform PortAudio library.

Installation

Add the following line to your deps in mix.exs. Run mix deps.get.

	{:membrane_portaudio_plugin, "~> 0.18.1"}

This package depends on the PortAudio library. The precompiled build will be pulled and linked automatically. However, should there be any problems, consider installing it manually.

The mix pa_devices task prints available audio devices and their IDs, which you can pass to the Membrane.PortAudio.Source or Membrane.PortAudio.Sink.

Manual instalation of dependencies

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev

Arch/Manjaro

pacman -S portaudio

MacOS

brew install portaudio

Sample usage

The pipeline below should play a raw file to a default output device.

defmodule Membrane.ReleaseTest.Pipeline do
  use Membrane.Pipeline

  alias Membrane.PortAudio

  @impl true
  def handle_init(_ctx, _opts) do
    structure = 
      child(:file_src, %Membrane.Element.File.Source{location: "file.raw"})
      |> child(:pa_sink, PortAudio.Sink)
    
    {[spec: structure], %{}}
  end
end

And this one should forward sound from the default input to the default output. DO NOT USE WITHOUT HEADPHONES to avoid audio feedback.

defmodule Membrane.ReleaseTest.Pipeline do
  use Membrane.Pipeline

  alias Membrane.PortAudio

  @impl true
  def handle_init(_ctx, _opts) do
    structure =
      child(:pa_src, PortAudio.Source)
      |> child(:pa_sink, PortAudio.Sink)

    {[spec: structure], %{}}
  end
end

Testing

Tests contain some cases that use PortAudio stuff instead of mocking. Such cases require the presence of at least one input and output sound card, thus they are disabled by default. To enable them, run

mix test --include soundcard
