Supported interfaces to pass as 17 // AudioInterface are AudioIntputStream and AudioOutputStream. Each platform- 18 // dependent implementation should derive from this class. 19 // 20 // Usage example (on Windows): 21 // 22 // class WASAPIAudioInputStream : public AgcAudioStream<AudioInputStream> { 23 // public: 24 // WASAPIAudioInputStream(); 25 // ... 26 // }; 27 // 28 // Call flow example: 29 // 30 // 1) User creates AgcAudioStream<AudioInputStream> 31 // 2) User calls AudioInputStream::SetAutomaticGainControl(true) => 32 // AGC usage is now initialized but not yet started. 33 // 3) User calls AudioInputStream::Start() => implementation calls 34 // AgcAudioStream<AudioInputStream>::StartAgc() which detects that AGC 35 // is enabled and then starts the periodic AGC timer. 36 // 4) Microphone volume samples are now taken and included in all 37 // AudioInputCallback::OnData() callbacks. 38 // 5) User calls AudioInputStream::Stop() => implementation calls 39 // AgcAudioStream<AudioInputStream>::StopAgc() which stops the timer. 40 // 41 // Note that, calling AudioInputStream::SetAutomaticGainControl(false) while 42 // AGC measurements are active will not have an effect until StopAgc(), 43 // StartAgc() are called again since SetAutomaticGainControl() only sets a 44 // a state. 45 // 46 // Calling SetAutomaticGainControl(true) enables the AGC and StartAgc() starts 47 // a periodic timer which calls QueryAndStoreNewMicrophoneVolume() 48 // approximately once every second. QueryAndStoreNewMicrophoneVolume() asks 49 // the actual microphone about its current volume level. This value is 50 // normalized and stored so it can be read by GetAgcVolume() when the real-time 51 // audio thread needs the value. The main idea behind this scheme is to avoid 52 // accessing the audio hardware from the real-time audio thread and to ensure 53 // that we don't take new microphone-level samples too often (~1 Hz is a 54 // suitable compromise). The timer will be active until StopAgc() is called. 55 // 56 // This class should be created and destroyed on the audio manager thread and 57 // a thread checker is added to ensure that this is the case (uses DCHECK). 58 // All methods except GetAgcVolume() should be called on the creating thread 59 // as well to ensure that thread safety is maintained.
