Detailed Description

Client management.

This class represents an ALSA sequencer client

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MidiClient()

MidiClient ( QObject parent = 0)

Constructor.

This constructor optionally gets a QObject parent. When you create a MidiClient with another object as parent, the MidiClient object will automatically add itself to the parent's children() list. The parent takes ownership of the object i.e. it will automatically delete its children in its destructor.

It is necessary to invoke open() later to get the sequencer client handler from the ALSA sequencer subsystem.

Parameters
parentThe optional parent object
Returns
a MidiClient instance

Definition at line 257 of file alsaclient.cpp.

◆ ~MidiClient()

~MidiClient ( )
virtual

Destructor.

The ports and queue associated to this client are automatically released.

Definition at line 267 of file alsaclient.cpp.

◆ doEvents()

void doEvents ( )
protected

Dispatch the events received from the Sequencer.

There are three methods of events delivering:

  • A Callback method. To use this method, you must derive a class from SequencerEventHandler, overriding the method SequencerEventHandler::handleSequencerEvent() to provide your own event processing. You must provide the handler instance to the client using setHandler().
  • Using QEvent listeners. To use this method, you must use one or more classes derived from QObject overriding the method QObject::customEvent(). You must also use the method addListener() to add such objects to the client's listeners list.
  • The third method involves signals and slots. Whenever a sequencer event is received, a signal eventReceived() is emitted, that can be connected to your own supplied slot(s) to process it.

◆ open() [1/2]

void open ( const QString  deviceName = "default",
const int  openMode = SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX,
const bool  blockMode = false 
)

Open the sequencer device.

When opening the MidiClient instance, several properties may optionally be set as the device name, the open mode and block mode. Default values are provided for them. After a successful open, an event with SND_SEQ_EVENT_CLIENT_START is broadcast to the announce port.

Parameters
deviceNamethe sequencer device name, default value = "default". This is not a name you make up for your own purposes; it has special significance to the ALSA library. Usually you need to pass "default" here.
openModethe open mode, default value = SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX. The read/write mode of the sequencer. Can be one of these three values:
  • SND_SEQ_OPEN_OUTPUT - open the sequencer for output only
  • SND_SEQ_OPEN_INPUT - open the sequencer for input only
  • SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX - open the sequencer for output and input
blockModeopen in blocking mode, default value = false.

This method is like open() except that a configuration is explicitly provided. After a successful open, an event with SND_SEQ_EVENT_CLIENT_START type is broadcasted from the announce port.

Parameters

deviceNamethe sequencer device name, default value = "default". This is not a name you make up for your own purposes; it has special significance to the ALSA library. Usually you need to pass "default" here.

◆ pollDescriptors()

int pollDescriptors ( struct pollfd *  pfds,
unsigned int  space,
short  events 
)
protected

Get poll descriptors.

Get poll descriptors assigned to the sequencer handle. Since a sequencer handle can duplex streams, you need to set which direction(s) is/are polled in events argument. When POLLIN bit is specified, the incoming events to the ports are checked.

Parameters
pfdsArray of poll descriptors
spaceSpace in the poll descriptor array
eventsPolling events to be checked (POLLIN and POLLOUT)
Returns
Count of filled descriptors

Definition at line 1537 of file alsaclient.cpp.

◆ pollDescriptorsRevents()

unsigned short pollDescriptorsRevents ( struct pollfd *  pfds,
unsigned int  nfds 
)
protected

Gets the number of returned events from poll descriptors.

Parameters
pfdsArray of poll descriptors.
nfdsCount of poll descriptors.
Returns
Number of returned events.
