 Audio FIFO Buffer
 
 Audio channel masks
 A channel layout is a 64-bits integer with a bit set for every channel. The number of bits set must be equal to the number of channels. The value 0 means that the channel layout is not known.
 
 Audio channel layouts
 
 Audio downmix metadata
 
 Audio sample formats
 Audio sample format enumeration and related convenience functions.
 
 Samples manipulation
 Functions that manipulate audio samples.

AV_CHAN_UNKNOWN 

Channel contains data, but its position is unknown.

AV_CHAN_AMBISONIC_BASE 

Range of channels between AV_CHAN_AMBISONIC_BASE and AV_CHAN_AMBISONIC_END represent Ambisonic components using the ACN system.

Given a channel id between AV_CHAN_AMBISONIC_BASE and AV_CHAN_AMBISONIC_END (inclusive), the ACN index of the channel <n> is <n> = - AV_CHAN_AMBISONIC_BASE.

Note
these values are only used for AV_CHANNEL_ORDER_CUSTOM channel orderings, the AV_CHANNEL_ORDER_AMBISONIC ordering orders the channels implicitly by their position in the stream.

AV_CHAN_AMBISONIC_END 

Definition at line 41 of file channel_layout.h.

◆ AVChannelOrder

Enumerator
AV_CHANNEL_ORDER_UNSPEC 

Only the channel count is specified, without any further information about the channel order.

AV_CHANNEL_ORDER_NATIVE 

The native channel order, i.e.

the channels are in the same order in which they are defined in the AVChannel enum. This supports up to 63 different channels.

AV_CHANNEL_ORDER_CUSTOM 

The channel order does not correspond to any other predefined order and is stored as an explicit map.

For example, this could be used to support layouts with 64 or more channels, or with empty/skipped (AV_CHAN_SILENCE) channels at arbitrary positions.

AV_CHANNEL_ORDER_AMBISONIC 

The audio is represented as the decomposition of the sound field into spherical harmonics.

Each channel corresponds to a single expansion component. Channels are ordered according to ACN (Ambisonic Channel Number).

The channel with the index n in the stream contains the spherical harmonic of degree l and order m given by

l = floor(sqrt(n)),
m = n - l * (l + 1).

Conversely given a spherical harmonic of degree l and order m, the corresponding channel index n is given by

n = l * (l + 1) + m.

Normalization is assumed to be SN3D (Schmidt Semi-Normalization) as defined in AmbiX format $ 2.1.

Definition at line 101 of file channel_layout.h.

Function Documentation

◆ av_get_channel_layout()

attribute_deprecated uint64_t av_get_channel_layout ( const char *  name)

Return a channel layout id that matches name, or 0 if no match is found.

name can be one or several of the following notations, separated by '+' or '|':

  • the name of an usual channel layout (mono, stereo, 4.0, quad, 5.0, 5.0(side), 5.1, 5.1(side), 7.1, 7.1(wide), downmix);
  • the name of a single channel (FL, FR, FC, LFE, BL, BR, FLC, FRC, BC, SL, SR, TC, TFL, TFC, TFR, TBL, TBC, TBR, DL, DR);
  • a number of channels, in decimal, followed by 'c', yielding the default channel layout for that number of channels (
    See also
    av_get_default_channel_layout);
  • a channel layout mask, in hexadecimal starting with "0x" (see the AV_CH_* macros).

Example: "stereo+FC" = "2c+FC" = "2c+1c" = "0x7"

This is the inverse function of av_channel_from_string().

Parameters
bufpre-allocated buffer where to put the generated string
buf_sizesize in bytes of the buffer.
Returns
amount of bytes needed to hold the output string, or a negative AVERROR on failure. If the returned value is bigger than buf_size, then the string was truncated.
