<section><title>Example uses</title> <p>These examples describe some different

uses of DevSound: </p> <p><b>Recording

a WAV file</b> </p> <p>In this example, a client application wants to record

a WAV file. As WAV is a standard file format supported by the MMF controller

framework, the <xref href="GUID-29FB1DE6-D00C-3E6B-A8AA-476FAFD7F26C.dita"><apiname>CMdaAudioRecorderUtility</apiname></xref> client API is used

to interact with DevSound. </p> <p>The main steps in recording the WAV file

are: </p> <ol id="GUID-24DBEAE0-D054-53CD-965E-A89B7F66410C">

<li id="GUID-0A785BE2-5896-5490-9C6D-7C66BB575BF5"><p>The client application

gives a request to record to the MMF <xref href="GUID-29FB1DE6-D00C-3E6B-A8AA-476FAFD7F26C.dita"><apiname>CMdaAudioRecorderUtility</apiname></xref> client

API. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-14622FA3-A7FD-5DDD-9BD6-AD7B4CB9F04C"><p>The MMF <xref href="GUID-29FB1DE6-D00C-3E6B-A8AA-476FAFD7F26C.dita"><apiname>CMdaAudioRecorderUtility</apiname></xref> client

API passes the command down through the controller framework to the MMF controller

plug-in. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-F0400FAB-4644-5764-B806-FC4F9B3A42DF"><p>The MMF controller plug-in

initializes DevSound for recording. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-692A4C69-6E04-52CE-9835-FD4E2B59D498"><p>Recording starts and

continues until the client stops the recording or the limit on the file size

is reached. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-579CFF58-4C6D-51F1-9249-CB1BCCC7D08F"><p>Upon completion, the

client gives a request to the MMF controller framework to stop the recording.

The controller framework passes the command down to the MMF controller plug-in. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-8F3214E6-DFA0-533A-BE7F-86657BFE82E0"><p>The MMF controller plug-in

stops DevSound and sends the completion event back to the client via controller

framework. </p> </li>

</ol> <p><b>Playing

a DTMF tone</b> </p> <p>In this example, a client application wants to play

a Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) tone. The MMF <xref href="GUID-D728A286-A202-3915-9643-8FD70646F78A.dita"><apiname>CMdaAudioToneUtility</apiname></xref> client

API is used to play the DTMF tone. Unlike other MMF APIs, the <xref href="GUID-D728A286-A202-3915-9643-8FD70646F78A.dita"><apiname>CMdaAudioToneUtility</apiname></xref> does

not require a controller plug-in. This is because the input and output of

the API is already in a known data format and does not require encoding or

decoding. The <xref href="GUID-D728A286-A202-3915-9643-8FD70646F78A.dita"><apiname>CMdaAudioToneUtility</apiname></xref> communicates directly

with DevSound. </p> <p>The main steps in playing the DTMF tone are: </p> <ol id="GUID-653E4665-1469-5EDA-B83E-94DB580ECFB0">

<li id="GUID-5B600730-C908-5D5E-9C7E-05B8FAE685AA"><p>The client application

prepares the <xref href="GUID-D728A286-A202-3915-9643-8FD70646F78A.dita"><apiname>CMdaAudioToneUtility</apiname></xref> to play a DTMF tone. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-EA9E73E1-AACE-52E8-BF8A-B11FE2117D2C"><p>The client application

asks the <xref href="GUID-D728A286-A202-3915-9643-8FD70646F78A.dita"><apiname>CMdaAudioToneUtility</apiname></xref> to start playing the tone. </p> </li>

the client application that the playing of the tone is complete. </p> </li>

</ol> <p><b>Playing

an AVI file</b> </p> <p>In this example, a client application wants to play

an Audio Video Interleaved (AVI) file; output is to a screen and speakers.

The AVI file contains audio and video data, so the <xref href="GUID-0F1F8AC6-B99F-3274-A785-9977197AF762.dita"><apiname>CVideoPlayerUtility</apiname></xref> class

that can manipulate both types of data is used. </p> <p>The main steps in

playing the AVI file are: </p> <ol id="GUID-D1F0C730-45BF-5B58-BBCE-3483C951BD72">

<li id="GUID-83EF3725-22BE-5140-96C6-8F530DC7AAA3"><p>The client application

requests to play an AVI file to the MMF CVideoPlayerUtility class. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-C8C8E7D2-982F-5561-A707-BCC5131E7C8D"><p>The MMF CVideoPlayerUtility

class passes the request to the MMF controller framework. The controller framework

loads the AVI controller </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-980A38CF-CAA3-5A54-8888-A54AACF538B6"><p>The AVI controller plug-in

initializes the DevSound and DevVideo. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-46DD25A9-62C1-5B6F-8BC8-21E57BB706F2"><p>The AVI controller plug-in

reads the data in the AVI file and sends the audio data to DevSound and the

video data to DevVideo. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-CFDEDC57-E5BD-5680-AC20-1A8F10A6328D"><p>DevSound outputs the

audio data.</p> </li>

<li id="GUID-AB78F54C-76B8-419A-AC24-F22371AFB506"><p>DevVideo sends the video

data to be decoded to the corresponding codec. The decoded video data is then

displayed on the screen. </p></li>

</ol><note> AVI files support Dolby audio also. The client application requests

for Dolby play back are processed in the similar way.</note></section>
