[Speex-dev] Buffer size/rate woes

[B. Mitchell Loebel]

Hello Zack:

Excuse me if I'm jumping into something completely wrongly, but ...

I'm doing something similar right now on the Mac working with G.729. 
I'm working on the decode end of the problem and interfacing with 
what the Mac developer community calls an Audio Unit (AU) to get to 
their D/A and speakers. So my code decodes the compressed file and 
streams the PCM into an AU that I configured with the frame size and 
rate I want and samples widths that I specify (in my case 16 bits). 
I'm using their default AU in output mode. I believe you would 
configure an AU in an input mode which would allow you to interface 
with some hardware sound input and give you the frame rate, number of 
samples, and sample widths that SPEEX wants.

I suggest that you check into 
<http://coreaudio-api@lists.apple.com/>coreaudio-api at lists.apple.<http://coreaudio-api@lists.apple.com/>com. 
I have an active issue going back and forth right now with my 
scenario. Lots of very good help up there. You may have to subscribe 
to read or write the lists. Let me know if you have a problem with that.

Take care ... hope this helps.
