Audio Data Streaming

The application can use the USB_HOST_AUDIO_V1_0_StreamRead and USB_HOST_AUDIO_V1_0_StreamWrite functions to transfer data to an Audio Stream. While calling these functions, the stream handle specifies the target Audio stream and the event handler function to which the events should be sent. It is possible for multiple clients to open the same audio stream and transfer data to the stream. 

Calling the USB_HOST_AUDIO_V1_0_StreamRead and USB_HOST_AUDIO_V1_0_StreamWrite functions while a read/write transfer is already in progress will cause the transfer result to be queued. If the transfer was successfully queued or scheduled, the USB_HOST_AUDIO_V1_0_StreamRead and USB_HOST_AUDIO_V1_0_StreamWrite functions will return a valid transfer handle. This transfer handle identifies the transfer request. The application clients can use the transfer handles to keep track of multiple queued transfers. When a transfer completes, the Audio stream handler generates an event. The following table shows the event and the event data associated with the event. 

Table 1: Read  

Function 
Event 
USB_HOST_AUDIO_V1_0_STREAM_EVENT_READ_COMPLETE 
Event Data Type 
USB_HOST_AUDIO_V1_0_STREAM_EVENT_READ_COMPLETE _DATA 

Table 2: Write

Function 
Event 
USB_HOST_AUDIO_V1_0_STREAM_EVENT_WRITE_COMPLETE 
Event Data Type 
USB_HOST_AUDIO_V1_0_STREAM_EVENT_WRITE_COMPLETE _DATA 

The event data contains information on the amount of data transferred, completion status and the transfer handle of the transfer. The following code shows an example of reading and writing data.
