Console and multithreaded recording and playback

Question: How to use RecorderEx and PlayerEx in console application or Windows Service?

Answer: In order to use RecorderEx and PlayerEx in a console application or Windows Service need to create instances of these classes by using a parameterized constructor:
new RecorderEx(true) and new PlayerEx(true), respectively. The same is true for multi-threaded recorder and player.

Below is an example of full duplex Recorder and Player.

using System;

using Alvas.Audio;

 

namespace AudioConsCs

{

    class Program

    {

 

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            rex.Data += new RecorderEx.DataEventHandler(rex_Data);

            rex.Open += new EventHandler(rex_Open);

            rex.Close += new EventHandler(rex_Close);

            rex.Format = pcmFormat;

            rex.StartRecord();

            Console.WriteLine("Please press enter to exit!");

            Console.ReadLine();

            rex.StopRecord();

        }

 

        static RecorderEx rex = new RecorderEx(true);

        static PlayerEx play = new PlayerEx(true);

        static IntPtr pcmFormat = AudioCompressionManager.GetPcmFormat(1, 16, 44100);

 

        static void rex_Open(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            play.OpenPlayer(pcmFormat);

            play.StartPlay();

        }

 

        static void rex_Close(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            play.ClosePlayer();

        }

 

        static void rex_Data(object sender, DataEventArgs e)

        {

            byte[] data = e.Data;

            play.AddData(data);

        }

    }

}
