Types of source or destination lines. The descriptions for these
lines have been taken from http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/mixer.htm.
Declaration Syntax| C# |
public enum MixerLineComponentType
Members| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| DST_UNDEFINED |
An undefined destination line type.
|
| DST_DIGITAL |
A digital destination, for example, a SPDIF output jack.
|
| DST_LINE |
A line output destination. Typically used for a line output
jack, if there is a separate speaker output (ie,
MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_SPEAKERS).
|
| DST_MONITOR |
Typically a "Monitor Out" jack to be used for a speaker system
separate from the main speaker out. Or, it could be some built-in
monitor speaker on the sound card itself, such as a speaker for a
built-in modem.
|
| DST_SPEAKERS |
The audio output to a pair of speakers (ie, the "Speaker Out" jack).
|
| DST_HEADPHONES |
Typically, a headphone output jack.
|
| DST_TELEPHONE |
Typically used to daisy-chain a telephone to an analog
modem's "telephone out" jack.
|
| DST_WAVEIN |
The card's ADC (to digitize analog sources, for example,
in recording WAVE files of such).
|
| DST_VOICEIN |
May be some sort of hardware used for voice recognition.
Typically, a microphone source line would be attached to this.
|
| SRC_UNDEFINED |
An undefined source line type.
|
| SRC_DIGITAL |
A digital source, for example, a SPDIF input jack.
|
| SRC_LINE |
A line input source. Typically used for a line input jack,
if there is a separate microphone input (ie,
MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_SRC_MICROPHONE).
|
| SRC_MICROPHONE |
Microphone input (but also used for a combination of
Mic/Line input if there isn't a separate line input source).
|
| SRC_SYNTHESIZER |
Musical synth. Typically used for a card that contains a
synth capable of playing MIDI. This would be the audio out
of that built-in synth.
|
| SRC_COMPACTDISC |
The audio feed from an internal CDROM drive (connected to
the sound card).
|
| SRC_TELEPHONE |
Typically used for a telephone line's incoming audio
to be piped through the computer's speakers, or the
telephone line in jack for a built-in modem.
|
| SRC_PCSPEAKER |
Typically, to allow sound, that normally goes to the computer's
built-in speaker, to instead be routed through the card's speaker
output. The motherboard's system speaker connector would be internally
connected to some connector on the sound card for this purpose.
|
| SRC_WAVEOUT |
Wave playback (ie, this is the card's DAC).
|
| SRC_AUXILIARY |
An aux jack meant to be routed to the Speaker Out, or to the
ADC (for WAVE recording). Typically, this is used to connect external,
analog equipment (such as tape decks, the audio outputs of musical
instruments, etc) for digitalizing or playback through the sound card.
|
| SRC_ANALOG |
May be used similiarly to MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_SRC_AUXILIARY (although
I have seen some mixers use this like MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_SRC_PCSPEAKER).
In general, this would be some analog connector on the sound card which is
only accessible internally, to be used to internally connect some analog component
inside of the computer case so that it plays through the speaker out.
