The host should avoid to process in kPrefetch mode such sampler based plug-in. - kOffline: each process call could be faster than realtime or slower, higher quality than realtime could be used. plug-ins using disk streaming should be sure that they have enough time in the process call for streaming, if needed by slowing down to realtime or slower. . Note about Process Modes switching: - Switching between kRealtime and kPrefetch process modes are done in realtime thread without need of calling IAudioProcessor::setupProcessing, the plug-in should check in process call the member processMode of ProcessData in order to know in which mode it is processed. - Switching between kRealtime (or kPrefetch) and kOffline requires that the host calls IAudioProcessor::setupProcessing in order to inform the plug-in about this mode change. . \see ProcessSetup, ProcessData */ enum ProcessModes { kRealtime, ///< realtime processing kPrefetch, ///< prefetch processing kOffline ///< offline processing }; //------------------------------------------------------------------------ /** kNoTail * * to be returned by getTailSamples when no tail is wanted \see IAudioProcessor::getTailSamples */ static const uint32 kNoTail = 0; //------------------------------------------------------------------------ /** kInfiniteTail * * to be returned by getTailSamples when infinite tail is wanted \see IAudioProcessor::getTailSamples */ static const uint32 kInfiniteTail = kMaxInt32u; //------------------------------------------------------------------------ /** Audio processing setup. \see IAudioProcessor::setupProcessing */ struct ProcessSetup { //------------------------------------------------------------------------ int32 processMode; ///< \ref ProcessModes int32 symbolicSampleSize; ///< \ref SymbolicSampleSizes int32 maxSamplesPerBlock; ///< maximum number of samples per audio block SampleRate sampleRate; ///< sample rate //------------------------------------------------------------------------ }; //------------------------------------------------------------------------ /** Processing buffers of an audio bus.
