Frames of the // primary stream, on which all processing is applied, are passed to // |ProcessStream()|. Frames of the reverse direction stream, which are used for // analysis by some components, are passed to |AnalyzeReverseStream()|. On the // client-side, this will typically be the near-end (capture) and far-end // (render) streams, respectively. APM should be placed in the signal chain as // close to the audio hardware abstraction layer (HAL) as possible. // // On the server-side, the reverse stream will normally not be used, with // processing occurring on each incoming stream. // // Component interfaces follow a similar pattern and are accessed through // corresponding getters in APM. All components are disabled at create-time, // with default settings that are recommended for most situations. New settings // can be applied without enabling a component. Enabling a component triggers // memory allocation and initialization to allow it to start processing the // streams. // // Thread safety is provided with the following assumptions to reduce locking // overhead: // 1. The stream getters and setters are called from the same thread as // ProcessStream(). More precisely, stream functions are never called // concurrently with ProcessStream(). // 2. Parameter getters are never called concurrently with the corresponding // setter. // // APM accepts only 16-bit linear PCM audio data in frames of 10 ms. Multiple // channels should be interleaved. // // Usage example, omitting error checking: // AudioProcessing* apm = AudioProcessing::Create(0); // apm->set_sample_rate_hz(32000); // Super-wideband processing. // // // Mono capture and stereo render. // apm->set_num_channels(1, 1); // apm->set_num_reverse_channels(2); // // apm->high_pass_filter()->Enable(true); // // apm->echo_cancellation()->enable_drift_compensation(false); // apm->echo_cancellation()->Enable(true); // // apm->noise_reduction()->set_level(kHighSuppression); // apm->noise_reduction()->Enable(true); // // apm->gain_control()->set_analog_level_limits(0, 255); // apm->gain_control()->set_mode(kAdaptiveAnalog); // apm->gain_control()->Enable(true); // // apm->voice_detection()->Enable(true); // // // Start a voice call... // // // ...
