• SDL2 won't play with more than 6 audio channels

  13 juin 2020, par Hiko Haieto

  I am trying to stream (raw) video and audio from a capture device as part of my home media setup (with my pc acting similarly to a receiver in a typical home theatre setup), but the biggest problem I haven't been able to get past is that I haven't been able to get ffplay (using SDL2 as its audio backend) to work with all 8 channels in 7.1 streams - two simply get dropped, despite it recognising 8 channel input or me specifying a 7.1 layout.

  



  I have been able to confirm that all 8 channels are present in the source by first using ffmpeg to save the output of a speaker test to a file and playing that back with both mplayer (which works) and ffplay (which doesn't). I also wrote some minimal code to play the audio directly through SDL's API with the same result, so it's not the fault of ffplay. I might simply use mplayer if it weren't for the fact that piping output from ffmpeg adds too much latency for real-time use. I am using libSDL version 2.0.12 and ffplay 4.2.3, both of which are the latest at the time of writing and are ostensibly supposed to support 7.1 audio.

  



  Using output recorded from speaker-test -c 8, I am using the following to play it back in mplayer :

  



  mplayer -channels 8 -rawaudio channels=8 -format s16le -demuxer rawaudio speaker-test.pcm


  



  and the following to play it back in ffplay :

  



  ffplay -f s16le -ac 8 -af 'channelmap=channel_layout=7.1' speaker-test.pcm


  



  No matter what I try, the two side channels get dropped. I couldn't figure out how to play raw pcm in SDL, so I repeated the same tests with wav output and used the following code to play it back :

  



  #include <sdl2></sdl2>SDL.h>&#xA;&#xA;int main(int argc, char **argv) {&#xA;    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO);&#xA;    SDL_AudioSpec wavSpec;&#xA;    Uint32 wavLength;&#xA;    Uint8 *wavBuffer;&#xA;    SDL_LoadWAV("speaker-test.wav", &amp;wavSpec, &amp;wavBuffer, &amp;wavLength);&#xA;    SDL_AudioDeviceID deviceID = SDL_OpenAudioDevice(NULL, 0, &amp;wavSpec, NULL, 0);&#xA;    SDL_QueueAudio(deviceID, wavBuffer, wavLength);&#xA;    SDL_PauseAudioDevice(deviceID, 0);&#xA;    SDL_Delay(30000);&#xA;    SDL_CloseAudioDevice(deviceID);&#xA;    SDL_FreeWAV(wavBuffer);&#xA;    SDL_Quit();&#xA;    return 0;&#xA;}&#xA;

  



  The above code exhibits the same behaviour of dropping the two additional side channels, despite it being the latest version of SDL that should have supported 7.1 for many releases now. Why might this be happening, and how might I fix it ?

  


• Museum of Multimedia Software, Part 1

  14 août 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Software Museum

  Many years ago, I found a boneyard of old software, much of it related to the creation and processing of multimedia. I was permitted to liberate anything of my choosing from this cache. This is the same pile where I found this Apple QuickTime format spec as well as this perfect form factor floppy disc box. So I have been sitting on the stuff for awhile.

  I thought I might get the chance to study it a bit more closely one day. But now I’m interested in getting rid of it. Before I do, it’s more or less traditional for me to photograph it and post it on one blog or another. Also, if you know of any software collection groups who would be interested in taking this stuff off my hands, do let me know.

  As usual, click a picture for a much larger image.

  Paracomp FilmMaker
  This is easily the most distinctive piece in this collection and it’s easy to see why— the software is packaged in a film cannister. Still sealed, and I don’t have a good reason to open it now.

  
  
  

  "The Professional Animation/Presentation Program for the Macintosh." No copyright date on the packaging, though the front does mention a 1990 award. System requirements : Mac OS 6.0.5, 5 MB RAM, 32-bit QuickDraw, math coprocessor.

  Strata VideoShop
  Version 4.5 (and not for resale), still shrink-wrapped. "The Digital Video Editor for Creative Professionals."

  
  
  

  System requirements : PowerMac with 5 MB RAM (8 MB recommended), Mac OS 7.5.

  BeatWare e-Picture
  "The Professional’s Choice for Designing Animated Web Graphics." Claims a best of show award for 1999 MacWorld New York Expo.

  
  
  

  System requirements : PowerMac with Mac OS 8, 32MB RAM, 10 MB of HD space and a 256-color adapter.

  BeatWare eZ-Motion
  Another offering from BeatWare. "The fastest and easiest way to create animations and graphics for the Web."

  
  
  

  This one is for either Mac or Windows. 32 MB RAM and 25 MB HD space required. Works with Mac OS 8.5, 8.6, or 9.0, or Windows 98, NT, or 2000.

  Much more to come...

  This comment can be traced back to the initial commit from 2001,
  
  and it seemed to be misleading/incorect already back then. (It
  
  was used for normal, non-raw file formats already then.)
