56<H1><B>Simple API</B></H1>
57
58<P>
59<B>Important Note:</B>
60The simple API is not designed to work on small chunks of a larger piece of
61audio.
62If you attempt to use it this way you are doing it wrong and will not get the
63results you want.
64For processing audio data in chunks you <b>must</b> use the
65 <a href="api_full.html">full api</a>
66or the
67 <a href="api_callback.html">callback based api</a>.
68</P>
69
70<br/><br/>
71
72<P>
73The simple API consists of a single function :
74</P>
75<PRE>
76 int src_simple (SRC_DATA *data, int converter_type, int channels) ;
77</PRE>
78<P>
79The use of this function rather than the more fully featured API requires the caller
80to know the total length of the input data before hand and that all input and output
81data can be held in the system's memory at once.
82It also assumes that there is a single constant ratio between input and output sample
83rates.
84<!--
85If these conditions cannot be met, the full featured API should be used instead.
86In addition, this documentation is complemented by this
87<A HREF="ex_simple.html">example code</A>. -->
88</P>
89
90<P>
91Dealing with the easy stuff first, the <B>converter_type</B> parameter should be
92one of the values defined in <B>samplerate.h</B> and documented
93<A HREF="api_misc.html#Converters">here</A> while the <b>channels</b> parameter
94specifies the number of interleaved channels that the sample rate converter
95is being asked to process (number of input channels and output channels is always
96equal).
97There is no hard upper limit on the number of channels; it is limited purely
98by the amount of memory available.
99</P>
100
101
102<P>
103The first parameter to <B>src_simple</B> is a pointer to an <B>SRC_DATA</B> struct
104(more info <A HREF="api_misc.html#SRC_DATA">here</A>) defined as follows:
105</P>
106<PRE>
107 typedef struct
108 { float *data_in, *data_out ;
109
110 long input_frames, output_frames ;
111 long input_frames_used, output_frames_gen ;
112
113 int end_of_input ;
114
115 double src_ratio ;
116 } SRC_DATA ;
117</PRE>
118<P>
119The fields of this struct which must be filled in by the caller are:
120</P>
121<PRE>
122 data_in : A pointer to the input data samples.
123 input_frames : The number of frames of data pointed to by data_in.
124 data_out : A pointer to the output data samples.
125 output_frames : Maximum number of frames pointer to by data_out.
126 src_ratio : Equal to output_sample_rate / input_sample_rate.
127</PRE>
128<P>
129When the <B>src_simple</B> function returns <B>output_frames_gen</B> will be
130set to the number of output frames generated and <B>input_frames_used</B> will
131be set to the number of input frames used to generate the provided number of
132output frames.
133</P>
134<P>
135The <B>src_simple</B> function returns a non-zero value when an error occurs.
136See <A HREF="api_misc.html#ErrorReporting">here</A> for how to convert the error value into
137a text string.
