Hardware/Built-in Echo Cancellation

On some platforms, audio device comes with built-in echo cancellation feature. This is usually done based on specific hardware configuration, such as the use of multiple microphones and/or a known fixed distance between the capture and playback device, in order to precalculate the echo time distance. Because of this, when using the hardware EC, users may not get the freedom to select their own audio devices. This is applicable for Mac (users must use default audio devices) and iOS (users must use the same built-in audio device).

In PJMEDIA, applications wishing to use sofware echo instead can pass PJMEDIA_ECHO_USE_SW_ECHO when calling pjmedia_snd_port_create2().

Defines

PJMEDIA_AUD_DEFAULT_CAPTURE_DEV

Device index constants. Constant to denote default capture device

PJMEDIA_AUD_DEFAULT_PLAYBACK_DEV

Constant to denote default playback device

PJMEDIA_AUD_INVALID_DEV

Enums

enum pjmedia_aud_dev_cap

This enumeration identifies various audio device capabilities. These audio capabilities indicates what features are supported by the underlying audio device implementation.

Applications get these capabilities in the pjmedia_aud_dev_info structure.

Application can also set the specific features/capabilities when opening the audio stream by setting the flags member of pjmedia_aud_param structure.

Once audio stream is running, application can also retrieve or set some specific audio capability, by using pjmedia_aud_stream_get_cap() and pjmedia_aud_stream_set_cap() and specifying the desired capability. The value of the capability is specified as pointer, and application needs to supply the pointer with the correct value, according to the documentation of each of the capability.
