Kamaelia.Codec.WAV.WAVParser

For examples and more explanations, see the module level docs.

class WAVParser(Axon.Component.component)

WAVParser() -> new WAVParser component.

Send WAV format audio file data to its "inbox" inbox, and the raw audio data will be sent out of the "outbox" outbox as binary strings. The format of the audio data is also sent out of other outboxes as soon as it is determined (before the data starts to flow).

Inboxes

control : Shutdown signalling
inbox : Raw WAV file data

Outboxes

signal : Shutdown signalling
sample_format : Sample format of the audio (eg. 'S16_LE')
channels : Number of channels in the audio
all_meta : Dict of 'sample_format', 'sample_rate', and 'channels'
sample_rate : The sample rate of the audio
outbox : Binary audio data strings

Methods defined here

Warning!

You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods (except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.

init(self)

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

checkShutdown(self)

Collects any new shutdown messages arriving at the "control" inbox, and returns "NOW" if immediate shutdown is required, or "WHENEVER" if the component can shutdown when it has finished processing pending data.

main(self)

readbytes(self, size)

Generator.

Read the specified number of bytes from the stream of chunks of binary string data arriving at the "inbox" inbox.

Any excess data is placed into self.remainder ready for the next call to self.readline or self.readbytes.

Data is only read from the inbox when required. It is not preemptively fetched.

The read data is placed into self.bytesread

If a shutdown is detected, self.bytesread is set to "" and this generator immediately returns.

readline(self)

Generator.

Read up to the next newline char from the stream of chunks of binary string data arriving at the "inbox" inbox.

Any excess data is placed into self.remainder ready for the next call to self.readline or self.readbytes.

Data is only read from the inbox when required. It is not preemptively fetched.

The read data is placed into self.bytesread

If a shutdown is detected, self.bytesread is set to "" and this generator immediately returns.

readuptobytes(self, size)

Generator.

Reads up to the specified number of bytes from any remainder, or (if there is no remainder) the next string that arrives at the "inbox" inbox

Any excess data is placed into self.remainder ready for the next call to self.readline or self.readbytes.

Data is only read from the inbox when required. It is not preemptively fetched.

The read data is placed into self.bytesread

If a shutdown is detected, self.bytesread is set to "" and this generator immediately returns.

safesend(self, data, boxname)

Generator.

Sends data out of the named outbox. If the destination is full (noSpaceInBox exception) then it waits until there is space and retries until it succeeds.

If a shutdownMicroprocess message is received, returns early.
