Supported interfaces to pass as // AudioInterface are AudioIntputStream and AudioOutputStream. Each platform- // dependent implementation should derive from this class. // // Usage example (on Windows): // // class WASAPIAudioInputStream : public AgcAudioStream { // public: // WASAPIAudioInputStream(); // ... // }; // // Call flow example: // // 1) User creates AgcAudioStream // 2) User calls AudioInputStream::SetAutomaticGainControl(true) => // AGC usage is now initialized but not yet started. // 3) User calls AudioInputStream::Start() => implementation calls // AgcAudioStream::StartAgc() which detects that AGC // is enabled and then starts the periodic AGC timer. // 4) Microphone volume samples are now taken and included in all // AudioInputCallback::OnData() callbacks. // 5) User calls AudioInputStream::Stop() => implementation calls // AgcAudioStream::StopAgc() which stops the timer. // // Note that, calling AudioInputStream::SetAutomaticGainControl(false) while // AGC measurements are active will not have an effect until StopAgc(), // StartAgc() are called again since SetAutomaticGainControl() only sets a // a state. // // Calling SetAutomaticGainControl(true) enables the AGC and StartAgc() starts // a periodic timer which calls QueryAndStoreNewMicrophoneVolume() // approximately once every second. QueryAndStoreNewMicrophoneVolume() asks // the actual microphone about its current volume level. This value is // normalized and stored so it can be read by GetAgcVolume() when the real-time // audio thread needs the value. The main idea behind this scheme is to avoid // accessing the audio hardware from the real-time audio thread and to ensure // that we don't take new microphone-level samples too often (~1 Hz is a // suitable compromise). The timer will be active until StopAgc() is called. // // This class should be created and destroyed on the audio manager thread and // a thread checker is added to ensure that this is the case (uses DCHECK). // All methods except GetAgcVolume() should be called on the creating thread // as well to ensure that thread safety is maintained. It will also guarantee // that the periodic timer runs on the audio manager thread. // |normalized_volume_|, which is updated by QueryAndStoreNewMicrophoneVolume() // and read in GetAgcVolume(), is protected by a lock to ensure that it can // be accessed from any real-time audio thread that needs it to update the its // AGC volume. namespace media { template class MEDIA_EXPORT AgcAudioStream : public AudioInterface { public: // Time between two successive timer events. static const int kIntervalBetweenVolumeUpdatesMs = 1000; AgcAudioStream() : agc_is_enabled_(false), max_volume_(0.0), normalized_volume_(0.0) { } virtual ~AgcAudioStream() { DCHECK(thread_checker_.CalledOnValidThread()); } protected: // Starts the periodic timer which periodically checks and updates the // current microphone volume level. // The timer is only started if AGC mode is first enabled using the // SetAutomaticGainControl() method. void StartAgc() { DCHECK(thread_checker_.CalledOnValidThread()); if (!agc_is_enabled_ || timer_.IsRunning()) return; // Query and cache the volume to avoid sending 0 as volume to AGC at the // beginning of the audio stream, otherwise AGC will try to raise the // volume from 0.
