AuMonitorNotifyEvent(3)

💖 NAME 💖

AuMonitorNotifyEvent — it's the monitor notify event structure, bestie. That's the whole thing. Short, sweet, iconic. 💅

✨ STRUCTURES ✨

okay so first things first, you gotta have the header pulled in:

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

then there's this union called _AuEvent, and our girl aumonitornotify is just sitting in there as one of the members, living her best life:

typedef union _AuEvent
{
    . . .
    AuMonitorNotifyEvent aumonitornotify;
    . . .
}AuEvent;

and here's the actual struct — the main character herself:

typedef struct _AuMonitorNotifyEvent
{
    int type;
    AuUint32 serial;
    AuBool send_event;
    AuServer *server;
    AuTime time;
    AuFlowID flow;
    unsigned char element_num;
    unsigned char format;
    unsigned char num_tracks;
    unsigned short count;
    unsigned short num_fields;
    AuUint32 data;
    AuUint32 data1;
    AuUint32 data2;
}AuMonitorNotifyEvent;

🦋 MEMBERS 🦋

okay so let's go field by field, no skipping, we're doing the whole tour:

• type — the event type, duh. MonitorNotify events are type AuEventTypeMonitorNotify. that's the whole personality.
• serial — the serial ID of the event, expanded from the 16 bit value the server sent you. glow-up from 16 bits, we love to see it. ✨
• send_event — AuTrue if the event came from a SendEvent protocol request. so if it's AuTrue, it's a SendEvent baby, no cap.
• server — the connection to the audio server that this event was read from. your link to the mothership. 🫶
• time — the server time in milliseconds for when the event was generated. timestamped, periodt.
• flow — specifies the ID of the flow that caused the event. yes, that flow. she did this. 👑
• element_num — the index of the ExportMonitor element that generated this event.
• format — the format of the monitor data. rn, the following formats are defined: AuFormatULAW8, AuFormatLinearUnsigned8, AuFormatLinearSigned8, AuFormatLinearSigned16MSB, AuFormatLinearUnsigned16MSB, AuFormatSignedLinear16LSB, and AuFormatLinearUnsigned16LSB. taken from the ExportMonitor element, so like, that's where she got it from. 💁
• num_tracks — the number of tracks in the monitor data. also taken from the ExportMonitor element. matching energy. 🎀
• count — always 0. like, literally always. don't ask, she's just built that way.
• num_fields — always 2. same deal, it is what it is. 🤷
• data — monitor data. yes, that's the whole description. slay.
• data1 — monitor data. again. iconic.
• data2 — monitor data. three of them. we been knew. 💜

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: MonitorNotify events will be sent to clients with flows containing ExportMonitor elements. that's it, that's the whole deal — if you got an ExportMonitor element in your flow, the server is gonna come find you. iykyk. 🌈

and that's the page!! this was audiolib - events, version 1.9.5, and yeah — it's giving manual page, it's giving networking audio, it's giving everything. go forth and monitor those events. mwah. 💖✨🎀🦋
