mvGetAudioWidth(3dm)                                      mvGetAudioWidth(3dm)


NAME
     mvGetAudioWidth, mvGetAudioRate, mvGetAudioChannels, mvGetAudioFormat,
     mvGetAudioCompression, - get and set the parameters of a an audio track


SYNOPSIS
     #include <dmedia/moviefile.h>


     int mvGetAudioWidth( MVid audioTrack )
     double mvGetAudioRate( MVid audioTrack )
     int mvGetAudioChannels( MVid audioTrack )
     DMaudioformat mvGetAudioFormat( MVid audioTrack )
     const char* mvGetAudioCompression( MVid audioTrack )


DESCRIPTION
     All of the data accessed by these functions can also be accessed using
     mvGetParams(3dm) and mvSetParams(3dm).

     mvGetAudioWidth returns the number of bits used to store each audio
     sample.  The movie library supports 8-bit and 16-bit audio samples.

     mvGetAudioRate returns the number of samples per second.

     mvGetAudioChannels returns the number of audio channels, 1 for mono and 2
     for stereo.

     mvGetAudioFormat returns the format used to store each sample:  either
     DM_AUDIO_TWOS_COMPLEMENT or DM_AUDIO_UNSIGNED.

     mvGetAudioCompression returns the compression scheme used for the audio
     data in this track.  Since movies do not support audio compression, the
     only valid value is DM_AUDIO_UNCOMPRESSED.  The strings returned are
     owned by the movie library and must not be freed.  If an application
     needs to keep the returned string, it should be copied.

     These "get" functions have no indication of error return.  The movie
     library guarantees that all audio tracks have all of these parameters
     defined.
