Hi there! I've taken my first stab at writing some (admittedly
minimal) libraries for Haskell, and would love to get feedback on
them:
* hmad: a wrapper for the libmad MP3 decoder.
http://maubi.net/~waterson/REPO/hmad
* CoreAudio: a wrapper for OS/X CoreAudio.
http://maubi.net/~waterson/REPO/CoreAudio
(You should be able to "darcs get" the above links, if you want.)
I wrote the libmad wrapper to generate a "stream" (i.e., a lazy list)
of audio samples. CoreAudio allows the input stream to be lazy, as
well. So, here's a simple MP3 player:
> module Main where
>
> import Sound.CoreAudio
> import Codec.Audio.MP3.Mad
> import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as B
> import System
> import System.IO
>
> main :: IO ()
> main = do files <- getArgs
> mapM_ playFile files
>
> playFile :: String -> IO ()
> playFile file =
> withBinaryFile file ReadMode $ \ inHandle ->
> do xs <- B.hGetContents inHandle
> samples <- decode xs
> play samples
I do have a couple questions...
* The CoreAudio library requires its users to be compiled with
"-threaded". Is there a way to specify that in the Cabal file?
* I wanted to be able to generate a variety of streams from libmad.
Besides stereo linear PCM data, it also seemed like it might be
worth-while to produce a stream of MP3 frame headers, the
unsynthesized frequency domain data, and so on. I tried to
accomplish this with a the DecoderSink class, but I'm not sure I
succeeded. Any thoughts here would be appreciated!
I hope someone else finds these useful. The FFI was a joy to use once
I figured it out... :)
