Features

🎵 Codec Engine (CODEC)

Bidirectional PCM conversion for 10+ audio codecs, all in pure managed C#:

• G.711 μ-law / A-law
• G.722 / G.726 sub-band ADPCM
• IMA ADPCM (DVI4)
• Opus (pure managed CELT implementation)
• MP3 (Huffman decoding + inverse quantization + IMDCT + subband synthesis)
• AAC-LC (ICS parsing + Huffman decoding + IMDCT + window overlap-add)
• FLAC (Fixed LPC + Rice residual coding + MD5)
• Ogg Vorbis (3 header packets encode/decode)
• Speex (pure managed narrowband CELP)
• Pluggable factory via CodecRegistry + ICodecInfo metadata
• IoT chip header adaptation (Hisilicon / Dahua / Uniview)

🔊 Audio Device I/O (DEVIO)

Cross-platform audio device abstraction:

• Device enumeration & discovery
• WaveOut / WASAPI / ASIO backends on Windows
• Audio capture & loopback recording
• Multi-device concurrent management via AudioDeviceManager

🎛️ DSP Pipeline (DSP)

Composable audio signal processing chain:

• Resampling (linear interpolation)
• Channel conversion (mono ↔ stereo)
• Bit depth / sample format conversion (8/16/32-bit ↔ float)
• Volume control & gain (linear / logarithmic)
• Multi-source mixing with normalization
• FFT spectrum analysis (Cooley-Tukey, Hann/Hamming/Blackman windows)
• Equalizer (10-band graphic + 3-band tone, BiQuad cascade)
• BiQuad filter (RBJ standard: LP/HP/BP/Notch/Peaking/LowShelf/HighShelf)
• Dynamic range compressor (soft-knee, RMS envelope)
• Fade in/out & crossfade (linear/log/cosine)
• Speed change (OLA) & pitch shift
• Chainable IAudioProcessor + AudioPipeline

🗣️ Speech Processing (VOP)

Real-time voice communication front-end:

• VAD — Voice Activity Detection (GMM model, 6 sub-bands + hangover)
• AEC — Acoustic Echo Cancellation (NLMS adaptive filter + double-talk detection + comfort noise)
• AGC — Automatic Gain Control (slow-attack fast-release, RMS envelope)
• NS — Noise Suppression (spectral subtraction + FFT/IFFT + OLA synthesis)
• Voice preprocessor pipeline: HPF → VAD → AGC

📦 Container Formats (CONT)

Audio file format read/write:

• WAV — Full RIFF parsing & writing
• Ogg — Page-level read/write (Opus/Vorbis)
• MP4/M4A — ISO BMFF: ftyp/moov/mdat box parsing & generation
• FLAC — Native fLaC metadata block parsing
• Raw PCM — Auto-detect or manual format specification

📡 Streaming & Transport (STRM)

Network audio streaming:

• RTP packetization & depacketization (RFC 3550) + session management
• RTSP client (TCP: OPTIONS→DESCRIBE→SETUP→PLAY→TEARDOWN, SDP parsing)
• HTTP audio streaming (Icecast/SHOUTcast)
• WebSocket bidirectional audio pipe (5-byte frame header)

Installation

dotnet add package NewLife.Audio

Quick Start

using NewLife.Audio;
using NewLife.Audio.Codecs;

// Decode G.711 μ-law to PCM
var codec = new G711UCodec();
var pcm = codec.ToPcm(encodedData);

// Encode PCM to G.711 A-law
var g711a = new G711ACodec();
var encoded = g711a.FromPcm(pcmData);
