Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ pw_filter_state

The state of a filter

Enumerator

the stream is in error

PW_FILTER_STATE_UNCONNECTED 

unconnected

PW_FILTER_STATE_CONNECTING 

connection is in progress

PW_FILTER_STATE_PAUSED 

filter is connected and paused

PW_FILTER_STATE_STREAMING

◆ pw_filter_flags

Extra flags that can be used in pw_filter_connect()

Enumerator
PW_FILTER_FLAG_NONE 

no flags

PW_FILTER_FLAG_INACTIVE 

start the filter inactive, pw_filter_set_active() needs to be called explicitly

PW_FILTER_FLAG_DRIVER 

be a driver

PW_FILTER_FLAG_RT_PROCESS 

call process from the realtime thread

PW_FILTER_FLAG_CUSTOM_LATENCY 

don't call the default latency algorithm but emit the param_changed event for the ports when Latency params are received.

◆ pw_filter_port_flags

Enumerator
PW_FILTER_PORT_FLAG_NONE 

no flags

PW_FILTER_PORT_FLAG_MAP_BUFFERS 

mmap the buffers except DmaBuf

PW_FILTER_PORT_FLAG_ALLOC_BUFFERS 

the application will allocate buffer memory.

In the add_buffer event, the data of the buffer should be set

Connect a filter for processing.

Returns
0 on success < 0 on error.
