This includes device specific delays, like FIFOs etc. Parameter: inputLatency will hold the 'age' of the first sample frame in the input buffer when the hosts reads it in bufferSwitch() (this is theoretical, meaning it does not include the overhead and delay between the actual physical switch, and the time when bufferSitch() enters). This will usually be the size of one block in sample frames, plus device specific latencies. outputLatency will specify the time between the buffer switch, and the time when the next play buffer will start to sound. The next play buffer is defined as the one the host starts processing after (or at) bufferSwitch(), indicated by the index parameter (0 for buffer A, 1 for buffer B). It will usually be either one block, if the host writes directly to a dma buffer, or two or more blocks if the buffer is 'latched' by the driver. As an example, on ASIOStart(), the host will have filled the play buffer at index 1 already; when it gets the callback (with the parameter index == 0), this tells it to read from the input buffer 0, and start to fill the play buffer 0 (assuming that now play buffer 1 is already sounding). In this case, the output latency is one block. If the driver decides to copy buffer 1 at that time, and pass it to the hardware at the next slot (which is most commonly done, but should be avoided), the output latency becomes two blocks instead, resulting in a total i/o latency of at least 3 blocks. As memory access is the main bottleneck in native dsp processing, and to acheive less latency, it is highly recommended to try to avoid copying (this is also why the driver is the owner of the buffers). To summarize, the minimum i/o latency can be acheived if the input buffer is processed by the host into the output buffer which will physically start to sound on the next time slice. Also note that the host expects the bufferSwitch() callback to be accessed for each time slice in order to retain sync, possibly recursively; if it fails to process a block in time, it will suspend its operation for some time in order to recover.

Usually, the buffer size will be a power of 2; in this case, granularity will hold -1 on return, signalling possible buffer sizes starting from minSize, increased in powers of 2 up to maxSize. Returns: If no input/output is present ASE_NotPresent will be returned.

Notes: in order to be able to synchronise properly, the sample position / time stamp pair must refer to the current block, that is, the engine will call ASIOGetSamplePosition() in its bufferSwitch() callback and expect the time for the current block. thus, when requested in the very first bufferSwitch after ASIO_Start(), the sample position should be zero, and the time stamp should refer to the very time where the stream was started. it also means that the sample position must be block aligned. the driver must ensure proper interpolation if the system time can not be determined for the block position. the driver is responsible for precise time stamps as it usually has most direct access to lower level resources. proper behaviour of ASIO_GetSamplePosition() and ASIO_GetLatencies() are essential for precise media synchronization! */ typedef struct ASIOChannelInfo { long channel; // on input, channel index ASIOBool isInput; // on input ASIOBool isActive; // on exit long channelGroup; // dto ASIOSampleType type; // dto char name[32]; // dto } ASIOChannelInfo; ASIOError ASIOGetChannelInfo(ASIOChannelInfo *info); /* Purpose: retreive information about the nature of a channel Parameter: info: pointer to a ASIOChannelInfo structure with - channel: on input, the channel index of the channel in question. - isInput: on input, ASIOTrue if info for an input channel is requested, else output - channelGroup: on return, the channel group that the channel belongs to.

Parameter: None Returns: only if the above mentioned scenario is given, and a reduction of output latency can be acheived by this mechanism, should ASE_OK be returned. otherwise (and usually), ASE_NotPresent should be returned in order to prevent further calls to this function. note that the host may want to determine if it is to use this when the system is not yet fully initialized, so ASE_OK should always be returned if the mechanism makes sense. Notes: please remeber to adjust ASIOGetLatencies() according to whether ASIOOutputReady() was ever called or not, if your driver supports this scenario. also note that the engine may fail to call ASIO_OutputReady() in time in overload cases. as already mentioned, bufferSwitch should be called for every block regardless of whether a block could be processed in time. */ // restore old alignment #if defined(_MSC_VER) && !defined(__MWERKS__) #pragma pack(pop) #elif PRAGMA_ALIGN_SUPPORTED #pragma options align = reset #endif #endif
