NAME

       muroar_stream - Create a stream connected to a RoarAudio sound server

SYNOPSIS

       #include <muroar.h>

       muroar_t  muroar_stream  (muroar_t  fh,  int  dir,  int * stream, int codec, int rate, int
       channels, int bits);

DESCRIPTION

       This function connects a stream to a sound server supporting the RoarAudio  protocol.   It
       takes  a  connected control connection created with roar_connect(3) and converts it into a
       connected stream. The socket can no longer be used as control connection.

PARAMETERS

       fh     The connected control connection.

       dir    The stream direction for the new stream.  For playback of a  waveform  stream  (PCM
              data)  this  is  MUROAR_PLAY_WAVE.   For all possible values see the offical muRoar
              manual.

       stream This is a pointer  to  an  integer  muRoar  stores  the  stream  ID  in.   If  your
              application  does  not need to know the stream ID of the new stream this can be set
              to NULL.

       codec  This is the codec to be used for the new stream.  For signed PCM in host byte order
              use    MUROAR_CODEC_PCM    or    MUROAR_CODEC_PCM_S.     For   unsigned   PCM   use
              MUROAR_CODEC_PCM_U.  There are a lot other codecs defined. However  using  a  codec
              not  supported by the server will result an failure of this call.  For all possible
              values see the offical muRoar manual.

       rate   This is the sample/frame rate the new stream will use.  For  streams  this  setting
              does not make any sense set this to zero.

       channels
              This  is  the number of channels for the new stream.  For streams this setting does
              not make any sense set this to zero.

       bits   This is the number of bits per sample to be used by the  data.   For  streams  this
              setting does not make any sense set this to zero.

RETURN VALUE

       On success this call return the new stream IO handle.  This may be the same as the control
       connection  or  a  new  one  and   the   control   connection   is   closed.   On   error,
       MUROAR_HANDLE_INVALID is returned.

BUGS

       In failure where is no way to tell was was going wrong.
