.. module:: alsaaudio
|
||||
:platform: Linux
|
||||
|
||||
.. moduleauthor:: Casper Wilstrup <cwi@aves.dk>
|
||||
.. moduleauthor:: Lars Immisch <lars@ibp.de>
|
||||
|
||||
The :mod:`alsaaudio` module defines functions and classes for using ALSA.
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: pcms(pcmtype: int = PCM_PLAYBACK) ->list[str]
|
||||
|
||||
List available PCM devices by name.
|
||||
|
||||
Arguments are:
|
||||
|
||||
* *pcmtype* - can be either :const:`PCM_CAPTURE` or :const:`PCM_PLAYBACK`
|
||||
(default).
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:**
|
||||
|
||||
For :const:`PCM_PLAYBACK`, the list of device names should be equivalent
|
||||
to the list of device names that ``aplay -L`` displays on the commandline::
|
||||
|
||||
$ aplay -L
|
||||
|
||||
For :const:`PCM_CAPTURE`, the list of device names should be equivalent
|
||||
to the list of device names that ``arecord -L`` displays on the
|
||||
commandline::
|
||||
|
||||
$ arecord -L
|
||||
|
||||
*New in 0.8*
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: cards() -> list[str]
|
||||
|
||||
List the available ALSA cards by name. This function is only moderately
|
||||
useful. If you want to see a list of available PCM devices, use :func:`pcms`
|
||||
instead.
|
||||
|
||||
..
|
||||
Omitted by intention due to being superseded by cards():
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: card_indexes()
|
||||
.. function:: card_name()
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: mixers(cardindex: int = -1, device: str = 'default') -> list[str]
|
||||
|
||||
List the available mixers. The arguments are:
|
||||
|
||||
* *cardindex* - the card index. If this argument is given, the device name
|
||||
is constructed as: 'hw:*cardindex*' and
|
||||
the `device` keyword argument is ignored. ``0`` is the first hardware sound
|
||||
card.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** This should not be used, as it bypasses most of ALSA's configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
* *device* - the name of the device on which the mixer resides. The default
|
||||
is ``'default'``.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** For a list of available controls, you can also use ``amixer`` on
|
||||
the commandline::
|
||||
|
||||
$ amixer
|
||||
|
||||
To elaborate the example, calling :func:`mixers` with the argument
|
||||
``cardindex=0`` should give the same list of Mixer controls as::
|
||||
|
||||
$ amixer -c 0
|
||||
|
||||
And calling :func:`mixers` with the argument ``device='foo'`` should give
|
||||
the same list of Mixer controls as::
|
||||
|
||||
$ amixer -D foo
|
||||
|
||||
*Changed in 0.8*:
|
||||
|
||||
- The keyword argument `device` is new and can be used to
|
||||
select virtual devices. As a result, the default behaviour has subtly
|
||||
changed. Since 0.8, this functions returns the mixers for the default
|
||||
device, not the mixers for the first card.
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: asoundlib_version() -> str
|
||||
|
||||
Return a Python string containing the ALSA version found.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. _pcm-objects:
|
||||
|
||||
PCM Objects
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
PCM objects in :mod:`alsaaudio` can play or capture (record) PCM
|
||||
sound through speakers or a microphone. The PCM constructor takes the
|
||||
following arguments:
|
||||
|
||||
.. class:: PCM(type: int = PCM_PLAYBACK, mode: int = PCM_NORMAL, rate: int = 44100, channels: int = 2,
|
||||
format: int = PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE, periodsize: int = 32, periods: int = 4,
|
||||
device: str = 'default', cardindex: int = -1) -> PCM
|
||||
|
||||
This class is used to represent a PCM device (either for playback or
|
||||
recording). The constructor's arguments are:
|
||||
|
||||
* *type* - can be either :const:`PCM_CAPTURE` or :const:`PCM_PLAYBACK`
|
||||
(default).
|
||||
* *mode* - can be either :const:`PCM_NONBLOCK`, or :const:`PCM_NORMAL`
|
||||
(default).
|
||||
* *rate* - the sampling rate in Hz. Typical values are ``8000`` (mainly used for telephony), ``16000``, ``44100`` (default), ``48000`` and ``96000``.
|
||||
* *channels* - the number of channels. The default value is 2 (stereo).
|
||||
* *format* - the data format. This controls how the PCM device interprets data for playback, and how data is encoded in captures.
|
||||
The default value is :const:`PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE`.

|
||||
========================= ===============
|
||||
|
||||
* *periodsize* - the period size in frames.
|
||||
Make sure you understand :ref:`the meaning of periods <term-period>`.
|
||||
The default value is 32, which is below the actual minimum of most devices,
|
||||
and will therefore likely be larger in practice.
|
||||
* *periods* - the number of periods in the buffer. The default value is 4.
|
||||
* *device* - the name of the PCM device that should be used (for example
|
||||
a value from the output of :func:`pcms`). The default value is
|
||||
``'default'``.
|
||||
* *cardindex* - the card index. If this argument is given, the device name
|
||||
is constructed as 'hw:*cardindex*' and
|
||||
the `device` keyword argument is ignored.
|
||||
``0`` is the first hardware sound card.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** This should not be used, as it bypasses most of ALSA's configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
The defaults mentioned above are values passed by :mod:alsaaudio
|
||||
to ALSA, not anything internal to ALSA.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** For default and non-default values alike, there is no
|
||||
guarantee that a PCM device supports the requested configuration,
|
||||
and ALSA may pick realizable values which it believes to be closest
|
||||
to the request. Therefore, after creating a PCM object, it is
|
||||
necessary to verify whether its realized configuration is acceptable.
|
||||
The :func:info method can be used to query it.
|
||||
|
||||
*Changed in 0.10:*
|
||||
|
||||
- Added the optional named parameter `periods`.
|
||||
|
||||
*Changed in 0.9:*
|
||||
|
||||
- Added the optional named parameters `rate`, `channels`, `format` and `periodsize`.
|
||||
|
||||
*Changed in 0.8:*
|
||||
|
||||
- The `card` keyword argument is still supported,
|
||||
but deprecated. Please use `device` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
- The keyword argument `cardindex` was added.
|
||||
|
||||
The `card` keyword is deprecated because it guesses the real ALSA
|
||||
name of the card. This was always fragile and broke some legitimate usecases.
|
||||
|
||||
PCM objects have the following methods:
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.info() -> dict
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a dictionary containing the configuration of a PCM device.
|
||||
|
||||
A small subset of properties reflects fixed parameters given by the
|
||||
user, stored within alsaaudio. To distinguish them from properties
|
||||
retrieved from ALSA when the call is made, they have their name
|
||||
prefixed with **" (call value) "**.
|
||||
|
||||
Descriptions of properties which can be directly set during PCM object
|
||||
instantiation carry the prefix "PCM():", followed by the respective
|
||||
constructor parameter. Note that due to device limitations, the values
|
||||
may deviate from those originally requested.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet another set of properties cannot be set, and derives directly from
|
||||
the hardware, possibly depending on other properties. Those properties'
|
||||
descriptions are prefixed with "hw:" below.

The italicized descriptions give a summary of the "full" description
|
||||
as can be found in the
|
||||
`ALSA documentation <https://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
*New in 0.9.1*
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.dumpinfo()
|
||||
|
||||
Dumps the PCM object's configured parameters to stdout.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.pcmtype() -> int
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the type of PCM object. Either :const:`PCM_CAPTURE` or
|
||||
:const:`PCM_PLAYBACK`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.pcmmode() -> int
|
||||
|
||||
Return the mode of the PCM object. One of :const:`PCM_NONBLOCK`,
|
||||
:const:`PCM_ASYNC`, or :const:`PCM_NORMAL`
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.cardname() -> string
|
||||
|
||||
Return the name of the sound card used by this PCM object.
|
||||
|
||||
..
|
||||
Omitted by intention due to not really fitting the c'tor-based setup concept:
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.getchannels()
|
||||
|
||||
Returns list of the device's supported channel counts.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.getratebounds()
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the card's minimum and maximum supported sample rates as
|
||||
a tuple of integers.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.getrates()
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the sample rates supported by the device.
|
||||
The returned value can be of one of the following, depending on
|
||||
the card's properties:
|
||||
* Card supports only a single rate: returns the rate
|
||||
* Card supports a continuous range of rates: returns a tuple of
|
||||
the range's lower and upper bounds (inclusive)
|
||||
* Card supports a collection of well-known rates: returns a list of
|
||||
the supported rates
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.getformats()
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a dictionary of supported format codes (integers) keyed by
|
||||
their standard ALSA names (strings).
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.setchannels(nchannels: int) -> int
|
||||
|
||||
.. deprecated:: 0.9 Use the `channels` named argument to :func:`PCM`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.setrate(rate: int) -> int
|
||||
|
||||
.. deprecated:: 0.9 Use the `rate` named argument to :func:`PCM`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.setformat(format: int) -> int
|
||||
|
||||
.. deprecated:: 0.9 Use the `format` named argument to :func:`PCM`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.setperiodsize(period: int) -> int
|
||||
|
||||
.. deprecated:: 0.9 Use the `periodsize` named argument to :func:`PCM`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.state() -> int
|
||||
|
||||
Returs the current state of the stream, which can be one of
|
||||
:const:`PCM_STATE_OPEN` (this should not actually happen),
|
||||
:const:`PCM_STATE_SETUP` (after :func:`drop` or :func:`drain`),
|
||||
:const:`PCM_STATE_PREPARED` (after construction),
|
||||
:const:`PCM_STATE_RUNNING`,
|
||||
:const:`PCM_STATE_XRUN`,
|
||||
:const:`PCM_STATE_DRAINING`,
|
||||
:const:`PCM_STATE_PAUSED`,
|
||||
:const:`PCM_STATE_SUSPENDED`, and
|
||||
:const:`PCM_STATE_DISCONNECTED`.
|
||||
|
||||
*New in 0.10*
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.avail() -> int
|
||||
|
||||
For :const:`PCM_PLAYBACK` PCM objects, returns the number of writable
|
||||
(that is, free) frames in the buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
For :const:`PCM_CAPTURE` PCM objects, returns the number of readable
|
||||
(that is, filled) frames in the buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
An attempt to read/write more frames than indicated will block (in
|
||||
:const:`PCM_NORMAL` mode) or fail and return zero (in
|
||||
:const:`PCM_NONBLOCK` mode).
|
||||
|
||||
*New in 0.11*
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.read() -> tuple[int, bytes]
|
||||
|
||||
In :const:`PCM_NORMAL` mode, this function blocks until a full period is
|
||||
available, and then returns a tuple (length,data) where *length* is
|
||||
the number of frames of captured data, and *data* is the captured
|
||||
sound frames as a string. The length of the returned data will be
|
||||
periodsize\*framesize bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
In :const:`PCM_NONBLOCK` mode, the call will not block, but will return
|
||||
``(0,'')`` if no new period has become available since the last
|
||||
call to read.
|
||||
|
||||
In case of a buffer overrun, this function will return the negative
|
||||
size :const:`-EPIPE`, and no data is read.
|
||||
This indicates that data was lost. To resume capturing, just call read
|
||||
again, but note that the stream was already corrupted.
|
||||
To avoid the problem in the future, try using a larger period size
|
||||
and/or more periods, at the cost of higher latency.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.write(data: bytes) -> int
|
||||
|
||||
Writes (plays) the sound in data. The length of data *must* be a
|
||||
multiple of the frame size, and *should* be exactly the size of a
|
||||
period. If less than 'period size' frames are provided, the actual
|
||||
playout will not happen until more data is written.
|
||||
|
||||
If the data was successfully written, the call returns the size of the
|
||||
data *in frames*.
|
||||
|
||||
If the device is not in :const:`PCM_NONBLOCK` mode, this call will block
|
||||
if the kernel buffer is full, and until enough sound has been played
|
||||
to allow the sound data to be buffered.
|
||||
|
||||
In :const:`PCM_NONBLOCK` mode, the call will return immediately, with a
|
||||
return value of zero, if the buffer is full. In this case, the data
|
||||
should be written again at a later time.
|
||||
|
||||
In case of a buffer underrun, this function will return the negative
|
||||
size :const:`-EPIPE`, and no data is written.
|
||||
At this point, the playback was already corrupted. If you want to play
|
||||
the data nonetheless, call write again with the same data.
|
||||
To avoid the problem in the future, try using a larger period size
|
||||
and/or more periods, at the cost of higher latency.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this call completing means only that the samples were buffered
|
||||
in the kernel, and playout will continue afterwards. Make sure that the
|
||||
stream is drained before discarding the PCM handle.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.pause([enable: int = True]) -> int
|
||||
|
||||
If *enable* is :const:`True`, playback or capture is paused.
|
||||
Otherwise, playback/capture is resumed.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.drop() -> int
|
||||
|
||||
Stop the stream and drop residual buffered frames.
|
||||
|
||||
*New in 0.9*
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.drain() -> int
|
||||
|
||||
For :const:`PCM_PLAYBACK` PCM objects, play residual buffered frames
|
||||
and then stop the stream. In :const:`PCM_NORMAL` mode,
|
||||
this function blocks until all pending playback is drained.
|
||||
|
||||
For :const:`PCM_CAPTURE` PCM objects, this function is not very useful.
|
||||

.. method:: PCM.polldescriptors() -> list[tuple[int, int]]
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a list of tuples of *(file descriptor, eventmask)* that can be
|
||||
used to wait for changes on the PCM with *select.poll*.
|
||||
|
||||
The *eventmask* value is compatible with `poll.register`__ in the Python
|
||||
:const:`select` module.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PCM.polldescriptors_revents(descriptors: list[tuple[int, int]]) -> int
|
||||
|
||||
Processes the descriptor list returned by :func:`polldescriptors` after
|
||||
using it with *select.poll*, and returns a single *eventmask* value that
|

**A few hints on using PCM devices for playback**
|
||||
|
||||
The most common reason for problems with playback of PCM audio is that writes
|
||||
to PCM devices must *exactly* match the data rate of the device.
|
||||
|
||||
If too little data is written to the device, it will underrun, and
|
||||
ugly clicking sounds will occur. Conversely, if too much data is
|
||||
written to the device, the write function will either block
|
||||
(:const:`PCM_NORMAL` mode) or return zero (:const:`PCM_NONBLOCK` mode).
|
||||
|
||||
If your program does nothing but play sound, the best strategy is to put the
|
||||
device in :const:`PCM_NORMAL` mode, and just write as much data to the device as
|
||||
possible. This strategy can also be achieved by using a separate
|
||||
thread with the sole task of playing out sound.
|
||||
|
||||
In GUI programs, however, it may be a better strategy to setup the device,
|
||||
preload the buffer with a few periods by calling write a couple of times, and
|
||||
then use some timer method to write one period size of data to the device every
|
||||
period. The purpose of the preloading is to avoid underrun clicks if the used
|
||||
timer doesn't expire exactly on time.
|
||||
|
||||
Also note, that most timer APIs that you can find for Python will
|
||||
accummulate time delays: If you set the timer to expire after 1/10'th
|
||||
of a second, the actual timeout will happen slightly later, which will
|
||||
accumulate to quite a lot after a few seconds. Hint: use time.time()
|
||||
to check how much time has really passed, and add extra writes as nessecary.

Mixer Objects
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Mixer objects provides access to the ALSA mixer API.
|
||||
|
||||
.. class:: Mixer(control: str = 'Master', id: int = 0, cardindex: int = -1, device: str = 'default') -> Mixer
|
||||
|
||||
Arguments are:
|
||||
|
||||
* *control* - specifies which control to manipulate using this mixer
|
||||
object. The list of available controls can be found with the
|
||||
:mod:`alsaaudio`.\ :func:`mixers` function. The default value is
|
||||
``'Master'`` - other common controls may be ``'Master Mono'``, ``'PCM'``,
|
||||
``'Line'``, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
* *id* - the id of the mixer control. Default is ``0``.
|
||||
|
||||
* *cardindex* - specifies which card should be used. If this argument
|
||||
is given, the device name is constructed like this: 'hw:*cardindex*' and
|
||||
the `device` keyword argument is ignored. ``0`` is the
|
||||
first sound card.
|
||||
|
||||
* *device* - the name of the device on which the mixer resides. The default
|
||||
value is ``'default'``.
|
||||
|
||||
*Changed in 0.8*:
|
||||
|
||||
- The keyword argument `device` is new and can be used to select virtual
|
||||
devices.
|
||||
|
||||
Mixer objects have the following methods:
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.cardname() -> str
|
||||
|
||||
Return the name of the sound card used by this Mixer object
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.mixer() -> str
|
||||
|
||||
Return the name of the specific mixer controlled by this object, For example
|
||||
``'Master'`` or ``'PCM'``
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.mixerid() -> int
|
||||
|
||||
Return the ID of the ALSA mixer controlled by this object.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.switchcap() -> int
|
||||

To manipulate these switches use the :meth:`setrec` or
|
||||
:meth:`setmute` methods
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.volumecap() -> int
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a list of the volume control capabilities of this

.. method:: Mixer.getenum() -> tuple[str, list[str]]
|
||||
|
||||
For enumerated controls, return the currently selected item and the list of
|
||||
items available.
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a tuple *(string, list of strings)*.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, my soundcard has a Mixer called *Mono Output Select*. Using
|
||||
*amixer*, I get::
|
||||
|
||||
$ amixer get "Mono Output Select"
|
||||
Simple mixer control 'Mono Output Select',0
|
||||
Capabilities: enum
|
||||
Items: 'Mix' 'Mic'
|
||||
Item0: 'Mix'
|
||||
|
||||
Using :mod:`alsaaudio`, one could do::
|
||||
|
||||
>>> import alsaaudio
|
||||
>>> m = alsaaudio.Mixer('Mono Output Select')
|
||||
>>> m.getenum()
|
||||
('Mix', ['Mix', 'Mic'])
|
||||
|
||||
This method will return an empty tuple if the mixer is not an enumerated
|
||||
control.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.setenum(index: int) -> None
|
||||
|
||||
For enumerated controls, sets the currently selected item.
|
||||
*index* is an index into the list of available enumerated items returned
|

by :func:`getenum`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.getrange(pcmtype: int = PCM_PLAYBACK, units: int = VOLUME_UNITS_RAW) -> tuple[int, int]
|
||||
|
||||
Return the volume range of the ALSA mixer controlled by this object.
|
||||
The value is a tuple of integers whose meaning is determined by the
|
||||
*units* argument.
|
||||
|
||||
The optional *pcmtype* argument can be either :const:`PCM_PLAYBACK` or
|
||||
:const:`PCM_CAPTURE`, which is relevant if the mixer can control both
|
||||
playback and capture volume. The default value is :const:`PCM_PLAYBACK`
|
||||
if the mixer has playback channels, otherwise it is :const:`PCM_CAPTURE`.
|
||||
|
||||
The optional *units* argument can be one of :const:`VOLUME_UNITS_PERCENTAGE`,
|
||||
:const:`VOLUME_UNITS_RAW`, or :const:`VOLUME_UNITS_DB`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.getvolume(pcmtype: int = PCM_PLAYBACK, units: int = VOLUME_UNITS_PERCENTAGE) -> int
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a list with the current volume settings for each channel. The list
|
||||
elements are integers whose meaning is determined by the *units* argument.
|
||||
|
||||
The optional *pcmtype* argument can be either :const:`PCM_PLAYBACK` or
|
||||
:const:`PCM_CAPTURE`, which is relevant if the mixer can control both
|
||||
playback and capture volume. The default value is :const:`PCM_PLAYBACK`
|
||||
if the mixer has playback channels, otherwise it is :const:`PCM_CAPTURE`.
|
||||
|
||||
The optional *units* argument can be one of :const:`VOLUME_UNITS_PERCENTAGE`,
|
||||
:const:`VOLUME_UNITS_RAW`, or :const:`VOLUME_UNITS_DB`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.setvolume(volume: int, pcmtype: int = PCM_PLAYBACK, units: int = VOLUME_UNITS_PERCENTAGE, channel: (int | None) = None) -> None
|
||||
|
||||
Change the current volume settings for this mixer. The *volume* argument
|
||||
is an integer whose meaning is determined by the *units* argument.
|
||||
|
||||
If the optional argument *channel* is present, the volume is set
|
||||
only for this channel. This assumes that the mixer can control the
|
||||
volume for the channels independently.
|
||||
|
||||
The optional *pcmtype* argument can be either :const:`PCM_PLAYBACK` or
|
||||
:const:`PCM_CAPTURE`, which is relevant if the mixer can control both
|

This method will fail if the mixer has no playback switch capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.setmute(mute: bool, channel: (int | None) = None) -> None
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the mute flag to a new value. The *mute* argument is either 0 for not
|
||||
muted, or 1 for muted.
|
||||
|
||||
The optional *channel* argument controls which channel is
|
||||
muted. The default is to set the mute flag for all channels.
|
||||
|
||||
This method will fail if the mixer has no playback mute capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.getrec() -> list[int]
|
||||
|
||||
Return a list indicating the current record mute setting for each channel.
|
||||
0 means not recording, 1 means recording.
|
||||

.. method:: Mixer.polldescriptors() -> list[tuple[int, int]]
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a list of tuples of *(file descriptor, eventmask)* that can be
|
||||
used to wait for changes on the mixer with *select.poll*.
|
||||
|
||||
The *eventmask* value is compatible with `poll.register`__ in the Python
|
||||
:const:`select` module.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.handleevents() -> int
|
||||
|
||||
Acknowledge events on the :func:`polldescriptors` file descriptors
|
||||
to prevent subsequent polls from returning the same events again.
|
||||
Returns the number of events that were acknowledged.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Mixer.close() -> None
|
||||
|
||||
Closes the Mixer device.
|
||||
|
||||
**A rant on the ALSA Mixer API**
|
||||
|
||||
The ALSA mixer API is extremely complicated - and hardly documented at all.
|
||||
:mod:`alsaaudio` implements a much simplified way to access this API. In
|
||||
designing the API I've had to make some choices which may limit what can and
|
||||
cannot be controlled through the API. However, if I had chosen to implement the
|
||||
full API, I would have reexposed the horrible complexity/documentation ratio of
|
||||
the underlying API. At least the :mod:`alsaaudio` API is easy to
|
||||
understand and use.
|
||||
|
||||
If my design choises prevents you from doing something that the underlying API
|
||||
would have allowed, please let me know, so I can incorporate these needs into
|
||||
future versions.
|
||||
|
||||
If the current state of affairs annoys you, the best you can do is to write a
|
||||
HOWTO on the API and make this available on the net. Until somebody does this,
|
||||
the availability of ALSA mixer capable devices will stay quite limited.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, I'm not able to create such a HOWTO myself, since I only
|
||||
understand half of the API, and that which I do understand has come from a
|
||||
painful trial and error process.
|
||||
|
||||
|

Examples
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
The following example are provided:
|
||||
|
||||
* `playwav.py`
|
||||
* `recordtest.py`
|
||||
* `playbacktest.py`
|
||||
* `mixertest.py`
|
||||
|
||||
All examples (except `mixertest.py`) accept the commandline option
|
||||
*-c <cardname>*.
|
||||
|
||||
To determine a valid card name, use the commandline ALSA player::
|
||||
|
||||
$ aplay -L
|
||||
|
||||
or::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python
|
||||
|
||||
>>> import alsaaudio
|
||||
>>> alsaaudio.pcms()
|
||||
|
||||
mixertest.py accepts the commandline options *-d <device>* and
|
||||
*-c <cardindex>*.
|
||||
|
||||
playwav.py
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
**playwav.py** plays a wav file.
|
||||
|
||||
To test PCM playback (on your default soundcard), run::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python playwav.py <wav file>
|
||||
|
||||
recordtest.py and playbacktest.py
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
**recordtest.py** and **playbacktest.py** will record and play a raw
|
||||
sound file in CD quality.
|
||||
|
||||
To test PCM recordings (on your default soundcard), run::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python recordtest.py <filename>
|
||||
|
||||
Speak into the microphone, and interrupt the recording at any time
|
||||
with ``Ctl-C``.
|
||||
|
||||
Play back the recording with::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python playbacktest.py <filename>
|
||||
|
||||
mixertest.py
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Without arguments, **mixertest.py** will list all available *controls* on the
|
||||
default soundcard.
|
||||
|
||||
The output might look like this::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./mixertest.py
|
||||
Available mixer controls:
|
||||
'Master'
|
||||
'Master Mono'
|
||||
'Headphone'
|
||||
'PCM'
|
||||
'Line'
|
||||
'Line In->Rear Out'
|
||||
'CD'
|
||||
'Mic'
|
||||
'PC Speaker'
|
||||
'Aux'
|
||||
'Mono Output Select'
|
||||
'Capture'
|
||||
'Mix'
|
||||
'Mix Mono'
|
||||
|
||||
With a single argument - the *control*, it will display the settings of
|
||||
that control; for example::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./mixertest.py Master
|
||||
Mixer name: 'Master'
|
||||
Capabilities: Playback Volume Playback Mute
|
||||
Channel 0 volume: 61%
|
||||
Channel 1 volume: 61%
|
||||
|
||||
With two arguments, the *control* and a *parameter*, it will set the
|
||||
parameter on the mixer::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./mixertest.py Master mute
|
||||
|
||||
This will mute the Master mixer.
|
||||
|
||||
Or::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./mixertest.py Master 40
|
||||
|
||||
This sets the volume to 40% on all channels.
|
||||
|
||||
To select a different soundcard, use either the *device* or *cardindex*
|
||||
argument::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./mixertest.py -c 0 Master
|
||||
Mixer name: 'Master'
|
||||
Capabilities: Playback Volume Playback Mute
|
||||
Channel 0 volume: 61%
|
||||
Channel 1 volume: 61%

************

What is ALSA
|
||||
************
|
||||
|
||||
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI
|
||||
functionality to the Linux operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
Logically ALSA consists of these components:
|
||||
|
||||
* A set of kernel drivers. --- These drivers are responsible for handling the
|
||||
physical sound hardware from within the Linux kernel, and have been the
|
||||
standard sound implementation in Linux since kernel version 2.5
|
||||
|
||||
* A kernel level API for manipulating the ALSA devices.
|
||||
|
||||
* A user-space C library for simplified access to the sound hardware from
|
||||
userspace applications. This library is called *libasound* and is required by
|
||||
all ALSA capable applications.
|
||||
|
||||
More information about ALSA may be found on the project homepage

The older Linux sound API (OSS) -- which is now deprecated -- is well supported
|
||||
by the standard Python library, through the ossaudiodev module. No native ALSA
|
||||
support exists in the standard library.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few other "ALSA for Python" projects available, including at least
|
||||
two different projects called pyAlsa. Neither of these seem to be under active
|
||||
development at the time - and neither are very feature complete.
|
||||
|
||||
I wrote PyAlsaAudio to fill this gap. My long term goal is to have the module
|
||||
included in the standard Python library, but that looks currently unlikely.
|
||||
|
||||
PyAlsaAudio has full support for sound capture, playback of sound, as well as
|
||||
the ALSA Mixer API.
|
||||
|
||||
MIDI support is not available, and since I don't own any MIDI hardware, it's
|
||||
difficult for me to implement it. Volunteers to work on this would be greatly
|
||||
appreciated.

************
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
************
|
||||
|
||||
Note: the wrappers link with the alsasound library (from the alsa-lib package)
|
||||
and need the ALSA headers for compilation. Verify that you have
|
||||
/usr/lib/libasound.so and /usr/include/alsa (or similar paths) before building.
|
||||
|
||||
*On Debian (and probably Ubuntu), install libasound2-dev.*
|
||||
|
||||
Naturally you also need to use a kernel with proper ALSA support. This is the
|
||||
default in Linux kernel 2.6 and later. If you are using kernel version 2.4 you
|
||||
may need to install the ALSA patches yourself - although most distributions
|
||||
ship with ALSA kernels.
|
||||
|
||||
To install, execute the following: --- ::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python setup.py build
|
||||
|
||||
And then as root: --- ::
|
||||
|
||||
# python setup.py install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*******
|
||||
Testing
|
||||
*******
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that :code:`aplay` plays a file through the soundcard you want, then
|
||||
try::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python playwav.py <filename.wav>
|
||||
|
||||
If :code:`aplay` needs a device argument, like
|
||||
:code:`aplay -D hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,DEV=0`, use::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python playwav.py -d hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,DEV=0 <filename.wav>
|
||||
|
||||
To test PCM recordings (on your default soundcard), verify your
|
||||
microphone works, then do::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python recordtest.py -d <device> <filename>
|
||||
|
||||
Speak into the microphone, and interrupt the recording at any time
|
||||
with ``Ctl-C``.
|
||||
|
||||
Play back the recording with::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python playbacktest.py -d <device> <filename>
|
||||
|
||||
There is a minimal test suite in :code:`test.py`, but it is
|
||||
a bit dependent on the ALSA configuration and may fail without indicating
|
||||
a real problem.
|
||||
|
||||
If you find bugs/problems, please file a `bug report
|
||||
<https://github.com/larsimmisch/pyalsaaudio/issues>`_.

****************************
|
||||
PCM Terminology and Concepts
|
||||
****************************
|
||||
|
||||
In order to use PCM devices it is useful to be familiar with some concepts and
|
||||
terminology.
|
||||
|
||||
Sample
|
||||
PCM audio, whether it is input or output, consists of *samples*.
|
||||
A single sample represents the amplitude of one channel of sound
|
||||
at a certain point in time. A lot of individual samples are
|
||||
necessary to represent actual sound; for CD audio, 44100 samples
|
||||
are taken every second.
|
||||
|
||||
Samples can be of many different sizes, ranging from 8 bit to 64
|
||||
bit precision. The specific format of each sample can also vary -
|
||||
they can be big endian byte integers, little endian byte integers, or
|
||||
floating point numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
Musically, the sample size determines the dynamic range. The
|
||||
dynamic range is the difference between the quietest and the
|
||||
loudest signal that can be reproduced.
|
||||
|
||||
Frame
|
||||
A frame consists of exactly one sample per channel. If there is only one
|
||||
channel (Mono sound) a frame is simply a single sample. If the sound is
|
||||
stereo, each frame consists of two samples, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Frame size
|
||||
This is the size in bytes of each frame. This can vary a lot: if each sample
|
||||
is 8 bits, and we're handling mono sound, the frame size is one byte.
|
||||
For six channel audio with 64 bit floating point samples, the frame size
|
||||
is 48 bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
Rate
|
||||
PCM sound consists of a flow of sound frames. The sound rate controls how
|
||||
often the current frame is replaced. For example, a rate of 8000 Hz
|
||||
means that a new frame is played or captured 8000 times per second.
|
||||
|
||||
Data rate
|
||||
This is the number of bytes which must be consumed or provided per
|
||||
second at a certain frame size and rate.
|
||||
|
||||
8000 Hz mono sound with 8 bit (1 byte) samples has a data rate of
|
||||
8000 \* 1 \* 1 = 8 kb/s or 64kbit/s. This is typically used for telephony.
|
||||
|
||||
At the other end of the scale, 96000 Hz, 6 channel sound with 64
|
||||
bit (8 bytes) samples has a data rate of 96000 \* 6 \* 8 = 4608
|
||||
kb/s (almost 5 MB sound data per second).
|
||||
|
||||
If the data rate requirement is not met, an overrun (on capture) or
|
||||
underrun (on playback) occurs; the term "xrun" is used to refer to
|
||||
either event.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _term-period:
|
||||
|
||||
Period
|
||||
The CPU processes sample data in chunks of frames, so-called periods
|
||||
(also called fragments by some systems). The operating system kernel's
|
||||
sample buffer must hold at least two periods (at any given time, one
|
||||
is processed by the sound hardware, and one by the CPU).
|
||||
|
||||
The completion of a *period* triggers a CPU interrupt, which causes
|
||||
processing and context switching overhead. Therefore, a smaller period
|
||||
size causes higher CPU resource usage at a given data rate.
|
||||
|
||||
A bigger size of the *buffer* improves the system's resilience to xruns.
|
||||
The buffer being split into a bigger number of smaller periods also does
|
||||
that, as it allows it to be drained / topped up sooner.
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, a bigger size of the *buffer* also increases the
|
||||
playback latency, that is, the time it takes for a frame from being
|
||||
sent out by the application to being actually audible.
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, a bigger *period* size increases the capture latency.
|
||||
|
||||
The trade-off between latency, xrun resilience, and resource usage
|
||||
must be made depending on the application.
|
||||
|
||||
Period size
|
||||
This is the size of each period in frames. *Not bytes, but frames!*
|
||||
In :mod:`alsaaudio` the period size is set directly, and it is
|
||||
therefore important to understand the significance of this
|
||||
number. If the period size is configured to for example 32,
|
||||
each write should contain exactly 32 frames of sound data, and each
|
||||
read will return either 32 frames of data or nothing at all.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _term-sample-size:
|
||||
|
||||
Sample size
|
||||
Each sample takes *physical_bits* of space. *nominal_bits* tells
|
||||
how many least significant bits are used. This is the bit depth
|
||||
in the format name and sometimes called just *sample bits* or
|
||||
*format width*. *significant_bits* tells how many most significant
|
||||
bits of the *nominal_bits* are used by the sample. This can be thought
|
||||
of as the *sample resolution*. This is visualized as follows::
|
||||
|
||||
MSB |00000000 XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX 00000000| LSB
|
||||
|--significant--|
|
||||
|---------nominal---------|
|
||||
|-------------physical--------------|
|
||||
|
||||
Once you understand these concepts, you will be ready to use the PCM API. Read
|
||||
on.
