Yet another doubt about CMdaAudioOutputStream

[vijayvc]

Hi,
I read in previous posts that CMdaAudioOutputStream class has some issues with callbacks. Even the WIKI said so(http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...tream_playback). What ever posts i read were pretty old. It was discussed that MaoscPlayComplete works in emulator but not on the device. I tried in SDK "S60_3rd_FP2 v1.1", in emulator itself, i aint receiving that callback.
Is this still a bug(n known issue) or a behavioral change that was introduced in device and then on emulator?.
But the documentation still reads "MaoscPlayComplete" will be called once the stream doesnt have any data to play.
Plz help.

Thanks in advance,
vijay.

Hi,

I recently used CMdaAudioOutputStream in 3.1 SDK. I didn't get my SW to work at the emulator at all (callbacks missing). I strongly suggest that you will try to run that SW in the targeted phone itself. Now the carbide 2.0 professional edition is free, so that option is available for everyone.

Best Regards,
Summeli

Hi Summeli,
Thanks for the reply.
Currently am using Carbide 2.0 and SDK "S60_3rd_FP2v1.1". I tried in emulator and device. Didnt receive such callback.

Thanks,

Hi,

To be accurate: I didn't wait for MaoscPlayComplete callbacks. I only used MaoscOpenComplete
and MaoscBufferCopied callbacks. I used PCM data for game audio, so the MaoscPlayComplete callback wasn't so important one.

You can also detect that the playback has been stopped, when all your buffers have been released with MaoscBufferCopied callbacks, and you don't have any data left.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Summeli,
I will try this one.

PlayComplete callback is not that exciting in case of CMdaAudioOutputStream, since you can enqueue new buffers at any time. A thing to try could be checking what happens when an incoming event (phone call, SMS, etc.) interrupts your stream. However that will not occur in the emulator for obvious reasons.
