## Description

SpiceRecordChannel class handles an audio recording stream. The audio stream should start when “record-start” is emitted and should be stopped when “record-stop” is received.

The audio is sent to the guest by calling `spice_record_send_data()` with the recorded PCM data.

Note: You may be interested to let the SpiceAudio class play and record audio channels for your application.

## Functions

### spice_record_send_data ()

    void
    spice_record_send_data (SpiceRecordChannel *channel,
                            gpointer data,
                            gsize bytes,
                            guint32 time);

`spice_record_send_data` has been deprecated since version 0.35 and should not be used in newly-written code.

use `spice_record_channel_send_data()` instead.

Send recorded PCM data to the guest.

#### Parameters

channel | a SpiceRecordChannel |
data | PCM data |
bytes | size of `data` |
time | stream timestamp |

### spice_record_channel_send_data ()

    void
    spice_record_channel_send_data (SpiceRecordChannel *channel,
                                    gpointer data,
                                    gsize bytes,
                                    guint32 time);

Send recorded PCM data to the guest.

#### Parameters

channel | a SpiceRecordChannel |
data | PCM data |
bytes | size of `data` |
time | stream timestamp |

Since: 0.35

## Types and Values

### struct SpiceRecordChannel

    struct SpiceRecordChannel;

The SpiceRecordChannel struct is opaque and should not be accessed directly.

### struct SpiceRecordChannelClass

    struct SpiceRecordChannelClass {
        SpiceChannelClass parent_class;

        /* signals */
        void (*record_start)(SpiceRecordChannel *channel,
                             gint format, gint channels, gint freq);
        void (*record_data)(SpiceRecordChannel *channel, gpointer *data, gint size);
        void (*record_stop)(SpiceRecordChannel *channel);
    };
