Go bindings for TinyAlsa

Features:

  • ⚡ Easy yet powerful API
  • 📱 Android support
  • 🤓☝️ well documented

Installation

$ go get -u github.com/Binozo/GoTinyAlsa

Troubleshooting

Linking

If you get the following error: error while loading shared libraries: libtinyalsa.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory and you built tinyalsa from source, make sure you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib as an environment variable.

Deprecation warnings

Those warnings

# github.com/Binozo/GoTinyAlsa/internal/tinyapi
cgo-gcc-prolog: In function ‘_cgo_ee639364c86c_Cfunc_pcm_read’:
cgo-gcc-prolog:152:2: warning: ‘pcm_read’ is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
In file included from /usr/local/include/tinyalsa/asoundlib.h:33,
from ../internal/tinyapi/device.go:5:

are normal and to ensure compatibility with Android, we need to use those deprecated functions. Take a look here for available APIs for the Android platform.

Quickstart

Note

Take a look at the examples folder for example usage.

Create your device

package main

import "github.com/Binozo/GoTinyAlsa"

func main() {
	// You need to set deviceCard and deviceNr yourself
	// To list output devices, execute 'aplay -L'
	// To list input devices, execute 'arecord -L'
	deviceCard := 4
	deviceNr := 0
	device := tinyalsa.NewDevice(deviceCard, deviceNr, pcm.Config{
		Channels:    1,
		SampleRate:  48000,
		PeriodSize:  2048,
		PeriodCount: 20,
		Format:      tinyalsa.PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE,
	})
}

Wait until it's ready

    // Wait until our microphone (PCM_IN) input is ready with the maximum duration of 2 seconds
	err := device.WaitUntilReady(tinyalsa.PCM_IN, time.Second*2)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("An error occurred while waiting until device is ready:", err)
	}
