Signals

  This signal is emitted when the muted property has changed.
void  outputDeviceChanged (const Phonon::AudioOutputDevice &newAudioOutputDevice)
  This signal is emitted when the (hardware) device for the output has changed.

Properties

QString  name
  This is the name that appears in Mixer applications that control the volume of this output.
qreal  volume
  This is the current loudness of the output (it is using Stevens' law to calculate the change in voltage internally).
qreal  volumeDecibel
  This is the current volume of the output in decibel.
AudioOutputDevice  outputDevice
  This property holds the (hardware) destination for the output.
bool  muted
  This property tells whether the output is muted.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AudioOutput ( Phonon::Category  category,
QObject parent = 0 
) [explicit]

Creates a new AudioOutput that defines output to a physical device.

Parameters:
category The category can be used by mixer applications to group volume controls of applications into categories. That makes it easier for the user to identify the programs. The category is also used for the default output device that is configured centrally. As an example: often users want to have the audio signal of a VoIP application go to their USB headset while all other sounds should go to the internal soundcard.

Member Function Documentation

qreal volume ( ) const
qreal volumeDecibel ( ) const
Phonon::Category category ( ) const

Returns the category of this output.

AudioOutput(Phonon::Category, QObject *)
bool isMuted ( ) const
void setName ( const QString newName ) [slot]
void setVolume ( qreal  newVolume ) [slot]
void setVolumeDecibel ( qreal  newVolumeDecibel ) [slot]
bool setOutputDevice ( const Phonon::AudioOutputDevice newAudioOutputDevice ) [slot]
void setMuted ( bool  mute ) [slot]
void volumeChanged ( qreal  newVolume ) [signal]

This signal is emitted whenever the volume has changed.

As the volume can change without a call to setVolume (calls over dbus) this is important to keep a widget showing the current volume up to date.

void mutedChanged ( bool  ) [signal]

This signal is emitted when the muted property has changed.

As this property can change by IPC (DBus) calls a UI element showing the muted property should listen to this signal.

void outputDeviceChanged ( const Phonon::AudioOutputDevice newAudioOutputDevice ) [signal]

This signal is emitted when the (hardware) device for the output has changed.

The change can happen either through setOutputDevice or if the global configuration for the used category has changed.

Property Documentation

QString name [read, write]

This is the name that appears in Mixer applications that control the volume of this output.

See also:
category

Definition at line 62 of file audiooutput.h.

qreal volume [read, write]

This is the current loudness of the output (it is using Stevens' law to calculate the change in voltage internally).

See also:
volumeDecibel

Definition at line 69 of file audiooutput.h.

qreal volumeDecibel [read, write]

This is the current volume of the output in decibel.

0 dB means no change in volume, -6dB means an attenuation of the voltage to 50% and an attenuation of the power to 25%, -inf dB means silence.

volume

Definition at line 79 of file audiooutput.h.

AudioOutputDevice outputDevice [read, write]

This property holds the (hardware) destination for the output.

The default device is determined by the category and the global configuration for that category of outputs. Normally you don't need to override this setting - letting the user change the global configuration is the right choice. You can still override the device though, if you have good reasons to do so.

outputDeviceChanged

Definition at line 91 of file audiooutput.h.

bool muted [read, write]

This property tells whether the output is muted.

Muting the output has the same effect as calling setVolume(0.0).
