Audio Buffers with Audio Effects
First Claim
1. A method for communicating between components of an audio generation system, the method comprising:
- requesting the creation of an audio buffer having one or more audio effect resources including a first audio effect resource configured to receive audio data from an audio data source and modify the audio data to generate modified audio data, the one or more audio effect resources further including at least a second audio effect resource configured to receive the modified audio data from the first audio effect resource and further modify the modified audio data to generate a modified audio data output of the audio buffer;
issuing a call to create the audio buffer, the call including parameters that specify an address of an audio buffer description data structure and an address of a variable of an application program that receives an interface of the audio buffer; and
receiving a pointer to the interface of the audio buffer.

Abstract
An audio buffer includes one or more audio effect resources that modify audio data received from an audio data source. A first audio effect resource in the audio buffer receives audio data from the audio data source and modifies the audio data to generate a stream of audio data. Subsequent audio effect resource(s) in the audio buffer receives the stream of audio data from the first audio effect and further modifies the audio data to generate a stream of modified audio data. The stream of modified audio data can then routed from the audio buffer to a second audio buffer, or communicated to an audio rendering component that produces an audio rendition corresponding to the modified audio data.
