BassBASS_StreamCreate Method (Int32, Int32, BASSFlag, BASSStreamProc)

public static int BASS_StreamCreate(
	int freq,
	int chans,
	BASSFlag flags,
	BASSStreamProc proc
)

Public Shared Function BASS_StreamCreate ( 
	freq As Integer,
	chans As Integer,
	flags As BASSFlag,
	proc As BASSStreamProc
) As Integer

Parameters

freq

Type: SystemInt32
The default sample rate. The sample rate can be changed using BASS_ChannelSetAttribute(Int32, BASSAttribute, Single).

chans

Type: SystemInt32
The number of channels... 1 = mono, 2 = stereo, 4 = quadraphonic, 6 = 5.1, 8 = 7.1. More than stereo requires WDM drivers, and the SPEAKER flags are ignored.

flags

Type: Un4seen.BassBASSFlag
Any combination of these flags (see BASSFlag):

BASS_SAMPLE_8BITS	Use 8-bit resolution. If neither this or the BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT flags are specified, then the stream is 16-bit.
BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT	Use 32-bit floating-point sample data. WDM drivers or the BASS_STREAM_DECODE flag are required to use this flag. See Floating-point channels for more info.
BASS_SAMPLE_3D	Use 3D functionality. This is ignored if BASS_DEVICE_3D wasn't specified when calling BASS_Init(Int32, Int32, BASSInit, IntPtr, IntPtr). 3D streams must be mono (chans=1). The SPEAKER flags can not be used together with this flag.
BASS_STREAM_AUTOFREE	Automatically free the stream's resources when it has reached the end, or when BASS_ChannelStop(Int32) (or BASS_Stop) is called.
BASS_STREAM_DECODE	Decode the sample data, without outputting it. Use BASS_ChannelGetData(Int32, IntPtr, Int32) to retrieve decoded sample data. The BASS_SAMPLE_SOFTWARE, BASS_SAMPLE_3D, BASS_SAMPLE_FX, BASS_STREAM_AUTOFREE and SPEAKER flags can not be used together with this flag.
BASS_SPEAKER_xxx	Speaker assignment flags.

proc

Type: Un4seen.BassBASSStreamProc
One of the following (see BASSStreamProc):

STREAMPROC_DUMMY	Create a "dummy" stream. A dummy stream doesn't have any sample data of its own, but a decoding dummy stream (with BASS_STREAM_DECODE flag) can be used to apply DSP/FX processing to any sample data, by setting DSP/FX on the stream and feeding the data through BASS_ChannelGetData(Int32, IntPtr, Int32). The dummy stream should have the same sample format as the data being fed through it.
STREAMPROC_PUSH	Create a "push" stream. Instead of BASS pulling data from a STREAMPROC function, data is pushed to BASS via BASS_StreamPutData(Int32, IntPtr, Int32).
STREAMPROC_DEVICE	Create a "dummy" stream for the device's final output mix. This allows DSP/FX to be applied to all channels that are playing on the device, rather than individual channels. DSP/FX parameter change latency is also reduced because channel playback buffering is avoided. The stream is created with the device's current output sample format; the freq, chans, and flags parameters are ignored. It will always be floating-point except on platforms/architectures that do not support floating-point (see BASS_CONFIG_FLOAT), where it will be 16-bit instead.

Return Value

The dummy stream should have the same sample format as the data being fed through it.

Platform-specific

Away from Windows, all mixing is done in software (by BASS), so the BASS_SAMPLE_SOFTWARE flag is unnecessary. The BASS_SAMPLE_FX flag is also ignored.
