[opus] Empty buffer on encoder write byte

[Jesse Armand]

Hi,

I've been trying to encode a live audio input from the microphone on iOS
device using opus.

Uncompressed audio recording works fine with
http://theamazingaudioengine.com/

Then, when I tried to do encoding, I'm stuck at figuring out why the buffer
is empty:

static int ec_write_byte(ec_enc *_this,unsigned _value){
  if(_this->offs+_this->end_offs>=_this->storage)return -1;
  _this->buf[_this->offs++]=(unsigned char)_value;
  return 0;
}

_this->buf is pointing to 1 byte unsigned char, which is basically has no
data in it, and it throws a bad access exception, at this function.

I set the max data bytes for output payload to 2048, application mode as
VoIP, and complexity to 5.

The following is a snippet in ObjC where I did the encoding:

    self.inputReceiver = [AEBlockAudioReceiver
audioReceiverWithBlock:^(void *source, const AudioTimeStamp *time, UInt32
frames, AudioBufferList *bufferList) {

        UInt32 numberOfBuffers = bufferList->mNumberBuffers;

        for (int bufferIndex = 0; bufferIndex < numberOfBuffers ;
++bufferIndex) {
            AudioBuffer audioBuffer = bufferList->mBuffers[bufferIndex];

            int frameSize = (samplingRate/1000) * sampleDuration; //
sampling rate is 8000, sample duration is 20ms
            size_t count = frameSize*channels / sizeof(opus_int16);
            __block opus_int16 *pcmInput = calloc(count,
sizeof(opus_int16));
            memcpy(pcmInput, audioBuffer.mData, count * sizeof(opus_int16));

            [_encoder encodeWithPCMInput:pcmInput frameSize:frameSize
outputBlock:^(unsigned char *payloadOutput, opus_int32 payloadLength) {
                // Send the audio data through UDP socket.

                NSData *audioData = [NSData dataWithBytes:payloadOutput
length:payloadLength];
                [_socket sendData:audioData toHost:RTC_SERVER_HOST
port:RTC_MEDIA_SERVER_PORT withTimeout:PACKET_TIMEOUT tag:AUDIO_DATA_TAG];

                free(pcmInput);
                pcmInput = NULL;
            }];
        }
    }];


The following is the backtrace:

JAOpusEncoder is an ObjC class that encodes the PCM input using opus
library.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
