Re: Mirroring Audio Output

This is a relatively old thread, but I have the need to do something similar -- process audio from other apps in real-time while still sending the audio to the output device (unadulterated). I looked (briefly) at the AudioReflectorDriver sample. It appears to be what I need except that it's a kernel extension. Is there some way this can be done in the user space? I believe the RA guys do this with AHP. I'm not trying to capture the audio in full - but to do some processing in real-time and extract certain features (so my needs are similar). My hack (for now) has been running a splitter off the headphones and bringing the audio back into the line-in. This, uh.. kinda sucks... but works for the short-term...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I should have added that this doesn't mean that it's impossible. For example, there are several tools out there that pose as a virtual device to route the audio back out to user space where a program can then send it to where ever it likes. The AudioReflectorDriver example code in our SDK provides a simplistic attempt at this. There are also more complex tools, like Jack for instance, that do routing and a bunch of other cool things too.

If I understand what you are saying, you want to tap the mixed output data as it gets sent to the hardware, right? If so, the system does not provide a means to do that.

I'm a CoreAudio newbie so I apologize if this is a stupid question...

I'm trying to mirror all of a computer's audio output to a second location (e.g., like Airport Express). What I'm trying to do is to tap into the audio stream at the end of the chain and do my own processing without affecting the local output. I've looked at the recording examples, which seem a good place to start with one exception. These examples take their input from the system input. What I want to do is to take my input from the system output. Can somebody point me in the correct direction?
