Description

AudioTestSrc can be used to generate basic audio signals. It support several different waveforms and allows to set the base frequency and volume.

Example launch line

1
gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink
This pipeline produces a sine with default frequency, 440 Hz, and the default volume, 0.8 (relative to a maximum 1.0).
1
gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc wave=2 freq=200 ! tee name=t ! queue ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink t. ! queue ! audioconvert ! libvisual_lv_scope ! videoconvert ! autovideosink
In this example a saw wave is generated. The wave is shown using a scope visualizer from libvisual, allowing you to visually verify that the saw wave is correct.

Members

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_SINE

a sine wave

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_SQUARE

a square wave

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_SAW

a saw wave

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_TRIANGLE

a tringle wave

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_SILENCE

silence

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_WHITE_NOISE

white uniform noise

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_PINK_NOISE

pink noise

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_SINE_TAB

sine wave using a table

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_TICKS

periodic ticks

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_GAUSSIAN_WHITE_NOISE

white (zero mean) Gaussian noise; volume sets the standard deviation of the noise in units of the range of values of the sample type, e.g. volume=0.1 produces noise with a standard deviation of 0.1*32767=3277 with 16-bit integer samples, or 0.1*1.0=0.1 with floating-point samples.

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_RED_NOISE

red (brownian) noise

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_BLUE_NOISE

spectraly inverted pink noise

 

GST_AUDIO_TEST_SRC_WAVE_VIOLET_NOISE

spectraly inverted red (brownian) noise
