Parameters

codec	The codec itself
samples	The number of samples

Return values

length

of media (in milliseconds)

ast_codec_get()

struct ast_codec* ast_codec_get	(	const char *	name,
		enum ast_media_type	type,
		unsigned int	sample_rate
	)

Retrieve a codec given a name, type, and sample rate.

Parameters

name	The name of the codec
type	The type of the codec
sample_rate	Optional sample rate, may not be applicable for some types

Return values

non-NULL	success
NULL	failure

Note

The returned codec is reference counted and ao2_ref or ao2_cleanup must be used to release the reference.
