"""Play and Record Sound with Python.

API overview:
  * Convenience functions to play and record NumPy arrays:
    `play()`, `rec()`, `playrec()` and the related functions
    `wait()`, `stop()`, `get_status()`, `get_stream()`

  * Functions to get information about the available hardware:
    `query_devices()`, `query_hostapis()`,
    `check_input_settings()`, `check_output_settings()`

    """Play back a NumPy array containing audio data.

    This is a convenience function for interactive use and for small
    scripts.  It cannot be used for multiple overlapping playbacks.

    This function does the following steps internally:

    * Call `stop()` to terminate any currently running invocation
      of `play()`, `rec()` and `playrec()`.

    * Create an `OutputStream` and a callback function for taking care
      of the actual playback.

    * Start the stream.

    * If ``blocking=True`` was given, wait until playback is done.
      If not, return immediately.

    If you need more control (e.g. block-wise gapless playback, multiple
    overlapping playbacks, ...), you should explicitly create an
    `OutputStream` yourself.
    If NumPy is not available, you can use a `RawOutputStream`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : array_like
        Audio data to be played back.  The columns of a two-dimensional
        array are interpreted as channels, one-dimensional arrays are
        treated as mono data.
        The data types *float64*, *float32*, *int32*, *int16*, *int8*
        and *uint8* can be used.
        *float64* data is simply converted to *float32* before passing
        it to PortAudio, because it's not supported natively.
    mapping : array_like, optional
        List of channel numbers (starting with 1) where the columns of
        *data* shall be played back on.  Must have the same length as
        number of channels in *data* (except if *data* is mono, in which
        case the signal is played back on all given output channels).
        Each channel number may only appear once in *mapping*.
    blocking : bool, optional
        If ``False`` (the default), return immediately (but playback
        continues in the background), if ``True``, wait until playback
        is finished.  A non-blocking invocation can be stopped with
        `stop()` or turned into a blocking one with `wait()`.
    loop : bool, optional
        Play *data* in a loop.

    Other Parameters
    ----------------
    samplerate, **kwargs
        All parameters of `OutputStream` -- except *channels*, *dtype*,
        *callback* and *finished_callback* -- can be used.

    Notes
    -----
    If you don't specify the correct sampling rate
    (either with the *samplerate* argument or by assigning a value to
    `default.samplerate`), the audio data will be played back,
    but it might be too slow or too fast!

    `InputStream` yourself.
    If NumPy is not available, you can use a `RawInputStream`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    frames : int, sometimes optional
        Number of frames to record.  Not needed if *out* is given.
    channels : int, optional
        Number of channels to record.  Not needed if *mapping* or *out*
        is given.  The default value can be changed with
        `default.channels`.
    dtype : str or numpy.dtype, optional
        Data type of the recording.  Not needed if *out* is given.
        The data types *float64*, *float32*, *int32*, *int16*, *int8*
        and *uint8* can be used.  For ``dtype='float64'``, audio data is
        recorded in *float32* format and converted afterwards, because
        it's not natively supported by PortAudio.  The default value can
        be changed with `default.dtype`.
    mapping : array_like, optional
        List of channel numbers (starting with 1) to record.
        If *mapping* is given, *channels* is silently ignored.
    blocking : bool, optional
        If ``False`` (the default), return immediately (but recording
        continues in the background), if ``True``, wait until recording
        is finished.
        A non-blocking invocation can be stopped with `stop()` or turned
        into a blocking one with `wait()`.

    Returns
    -------
    numpy.ndarray or type(out)
        The recorded data.

        .. note:: By default (``blocking=False``), an array of data is
           returned which is still being written to while recording!
           The returned data is only valid once recording has stopped.
           Use `wait()` to make sure the recording is finished.

    Other Parameters
    ----------------
    out : numpy.ndarray or subclass, optional
        If *out* is specified, the recorded data is written into the
        given array instead of creating a new array.
        In this case, the arguments *frames*, *channels* and *dtype* are
        silently ignored!
        If *mapping* is given, its length must match the number of
        channels in *out*.
    samplerate, **kwargs
        All parameters of `InputStream` -- except *callback* and
        *finished_callback* -- can be used.

    Notes
    -----
    If you don't specify a sampling rate (either with the *samplerate*
    argument or by assigning a value to `default.samplerate`),
    the default sampling rate of the sound device will be used
    (see `query_devices()`).

    dict or DeviceList
        A dictionary with information about the given *device* or -- if
        no arguments were specified -- a `DeviceList` containing one
        dictionary for each available device.
        The dictionaries have the following keys:

        ``'name'``
            The name of the device.
        ``'hostapi'``
            The ID of the corresponding host API.  Use
            `query_hostapis()` to get information about a host API.
        ``'max_input_channels'``, ``'max_output_channels'``
            The maximum number of input/output channels supported by the
            device.  See `default.channels`.
        ``'default_low_input_latency'``, ``'default_low_output_latency'``
            Default latency values for interactive performance.
            This is used if `default.latency` (or the *latency* argument
            of `playrec()`, `Stream` etc.) is set to ``'low'``.
        ``'default_high_input_latency'``, ``'default_high_output_latency'``
            Default latency values for robust non-interactive
            applications (e.g. playing sound files).
            This is used if `default.latency` (or the *latency* argument
            of `playrec()`, `Stream` etc.) is set to ``'high'``.
        ``'default_samplerate'``
            The default sampling frequency of the device.
            This is used if `default.samplerate` is not set.

    Notes
    -----
    The list of devices can also be displayed in a terminal:

    .. code-block:: sh

        python3 -m sounddevice

    Examples
    --------
    The returned `DeviceList` can be indexed and iterated over like any
    sequence type (yielding the abovementioned dictionaries), but it
    also has a special string representation which is shown when used in
    an interactive Python session.

    Each available device is listed on one line together with the
    corresponding device ID, which can be assigned to `default.device`
    or used as *device* argument in `play()`, `Stream` etc.

    The first character of a line is ``>`` for the default input device,
    ``<`` for the default output device and ``*`` for the default
    input/output device.  After the device ID and the device name, the
    corresponding host API name is displayed.  In the end of each line,
    the maximum number of input and output channels is shown.

    On a GNU/Linux computer it might look somewhat like this:

    >>> import sounddevice as sd
    >>> sd.query_devices()
       0 HDA Intel: ALC662 rev1 Analog (hw:0,0), ALSA (2 in, 2 out)
       1 HDA Intel: ALC662 rev1 Digital (hw:0,1), ALSA (0 in, 2 out)
       2 HDA Intel: HDMI 0 (hw:0,3), ALSA (0 in, 8 out)
       3 sysdefault, ALSA (128 in, 128 out)

      12 dmix, ALSA (0 in, 2 out)
      13 /dev/dsp, OSS (16 in, 16 out)

    Note that ALSA provides access to some "real" and some "virtual"
    devices.  The latter sometimes have a ridiculously high number of
    (virtual) inputs and outputs.

    On macOS, you might get something similar to this:

        This class should only be used by library authors who want to
        create their own custom stream classes.
        Most users should use the derived classes
        `Stream`, `InputStream`, `OutputStream`,
        `RawStream`, `RawInputStream` and `RawOutputStream` instead.

        This class has the same properties and methods as `Stream`,
        except for `read_available`/:meth:`~Stream.read` and
        `write_available`/:meth:`~Stream.write`.

        It can be created with the same parameters as `Stream`,
        except that there are three additional parameters
        and the *callback* parameter also accepts a C function pointer.

        Parameters
        ----------
        kind : {'input', 'output', 'duplex'}
            The desired type of stream: for recording, playback or both.
        callback : Python callable or CData function pointer, optional
            If *wrap_callback* is ``None`` this can be a function pointer
            provided by CFFI.
            Otherwise, it has to be a Python callable.
        wrap_callback : {'array', 'buffer'}, optional
            If *callback* is a Python callable, this selects whether
            the audio data is provided as NumPy array (like in `Stream`)
            or as Python buffer object (like in `RawStream`).
        userdata : CData void pointer
            This is passed to the underlying C callback function
            on each call and can only be accessed from a *callback*
            provided as ``CData`` function pointer.

        To open an input-only or output-only stream use `InputStream` or
        `OutputStream`, respectively.  If you want to handle audio data
        as plain buffer objects instead of NumPy arrays, use
        `RawStream`, `RawInputStream` or `RawOutputStream`.

        A single stream can provide multiple channels of real-time
        streaming audio input and output to a client application.  A
        stream provides access to audio hardware represented by one or
        more devices.  Depending on the underlying host API, it may be
        possible to open multiple streams using the same device, however
        this behavior is implementation defined.  Portable applications
        should assume that a device may be simultaneously used by at
        most one stream.

        The arguments *device*, *channels*, *dtype* and *latency* can be
        either single values (which will be used for both input and
        output parameters) or pairs of values (where the first one is
        the value for the input and the second one for the output).

        All arguments are optional, the values for unspecified
        parameters are taken from the `default` object.
        If one of the values of a parameter pair is ``None``, the
        corresponding value from `default` will be used instead.

        The created stream is inactive (see `active`, `stopped`).
        It can be started with `start()`.

        Every stream object is also a
        :ref:`context manager <python:context-managers>`, i.e. it can be
        used in a :ref:`with statement <python:with>` to automatically
        call `start()` in the beginning of the statement and `stop()`
        and `close()` on exit.

        Parameters
        ----------
        samplerate : float, optional
            The desired sampling frequency (for both input and output).
            The default value can be changed with `default.samplerate`.
        blocksize : int, optional
            The number of frames passed to the stream callback function,
            or the preferred block granularity for a blocking read/write
            stream.
            The special value ``blocksize=0`` (which is the default) may
            be used to request that the stream callback will receive an
            optimal (and possibly varying) number of frames based on
            host requirements and the requested latency settings.
            The default value can be changed with `default.blocksize`.

            .. note:: With some host APIs, the use of non-zero
               *blocksize* for a callback stream may introduce an
               additional layer of buffering which could introduce
               additional latency.  PortAudio guarantees that the
               additional latency will be kept to the theoretical
               minimum however, it is strongly recommended that a
               non-zero *blocksize* value only be used when your
               algorithm requires a fixed number of frames per stream
               callback.
        device : int or str or pair thereof, optional
            Device index(es) or query string(s) specifying the device(s)
            to be used.  The default value(s) can be changed with
            `default.device`.
        channels : int or pair of int, optional
            The number of channels of sound to be delivered to the
            stream callback or accessed by `read()` or `write()`.  It
            can range from 1 to the value of ``'max_input_channels'`` or
            ``'max_output_channels'`` in the dict returned by
            `query_devices()`.  By default, the maximum possible number
            of channels for the selected device is used (which may not
            be what you want; see `query_devices()`).  The default
            value(s) can be changed with `default.channels`.
        dtype : str or numpy.dtype or pair thereof, optional
            The sample format of the `numpy.ndarray` provided to the
            stream callback, `read()` or `write()`.
            It may be any of *float32*, *int32*, *int16*, *int8*,
            *uint8*. See `numpy.dtype`.
            The *float64* data type is not supported, this is only
            supported for convenience in `play()`/`rec()`/`playrec()`.
            The packed 24 bit format ``'int24'`` is only supported in
            the "raw" stream classes, see `RawStream`.  The default
            value(s) can be changed with `default.dtype`.
        latency : float or {'low', 'high'} or pair thereof, optional
            The desired latency in seconds.  The special values
            ``'low'`` and ``'high'`` (latter being the default) select
            the default low and high latency, respectively (see
            `query_devices()`).  The default value(s) can be changed
            with `default.latency`.
            Where practical, implementations should configure their
            latency based on this parameter, otherwise they may choose
            the closest viable latency instead.  Unless the suggested
            latency is greater than the absolute upper limit for the
            device, implementations should round the *latency* up to the
            next practical value -- i.e. to provide an equal or higher
            latency  wherever possible.  Actual latency values for an
            open stream may be retrieved using the `latency` attribute.

            .. note:: Specifying the desired latency as 'high' does
                not guarantee a stable audio stream. For reference, by
                default Audacity specifies a desired latency of 100ms and
                achieves robust performance.

        extra_settings : settings object or pair thereof, optional
            This can be used for host-API-specific input/output
            settings.  See `default.extra_settings`.
        callback : callable, optional
            User-supplied function to consume, process or generate audio
            data in response to requests from an `active` stream.
            When a stream is running, PortAudio calls the stream
            callback periodically.  The callback function is responsible
            for processing and filling input and output buffers,
            respectively.

            If no *callback* is given, the stream will be opened in
            "blocking read/write" mode.  In blocking mode, the client
            can receive sample data using `read()` and write sample
            data using `write()`, the number of frames that may be
            read or written without blocking is returned by
            `read_available` and `write_available`, respectively.

            The callback must have this signature::

                callback(indata: ndarray, outdata: ndarray, frames: int,
                         time: CData, status: CallbackFlags) -> None

            The first and second argument are the input and output
            buffer, respectively, as two-dimensional `numpy.ndarray`
            with one column per channel (i.e.  with a shape of
            ``(frames, channels)``) and with a data type specified by
            `dtype`.
            The output buffer contains uninitialized data and the
            *callback* is supposed to fill it with proper audio data.
            If no data is available, the buffer should be filled with
            zeros (e.g. by using ``outdata.fill(0)``).

            .. note:: In Python, assigning to an identifier merely
               re-binds the identifier to another object, so this *will
               not work* as expected::

                   outdata = my_data  # Don't do this!

               To actually assign data to the buffer itself, you can use
               indexing, e.g.::

                   outdata[:] = my_data

               ... which fills the whole buffer, or::

                   outdata[:, 1] = my_channel_data

               ... which only fills one channel.

            The third argument holds the number of frames to be
            processed by the stream callback.  This is the same as the
            length of the input and output buffers.

            The forth argument provides a CFFI structure with
            timestamps indicating the ADC capture time of the first
            sample in the input buffer (``time.inputBufferAdcTime``),
            the DAC output time of the first sample in the output buffer
            (``time.outputBufferDacTime``) and the time the callback was
            invoked (``time.currentTime``).
            These time values are expressed in seconds and are
            synchronised with the time base used by `time` for the
            associated stream.

            The fifth argument is a `CallbackFlags` instance indicating
            whether input and/or output buffers have been inserted or
            will be dropped to overcome underflow or overflow
            conditions.

            If an exception is raised in the *callback*, it will not be
            called again.  If `CallbackAbort` is raised, the stream will
            finish as soon as possible.  If `CallbackStop` is raised,
            the stream will continue until all buffers generated by the
            callback have been played.  This may be useful in
            applications such as soundfile players where a specific
            duration of output is required.  If another exception is
            raised, its traceback is printed to `sys.stderr`.
            Exceptions are *not* propagated to the main thread, i.e. the
            main Python program keeps running as if nothing had
            happened.

            .. note:: The *callback* must always fill the entire output
               buffer, no matter if or which exceptions are raised.

            If no exception is raised in the *callback*, it
            automatically continues to be called until `stop()`,
            `abort()` or `close()` are used to stop the stream.

            The PortAudio stream callback runs at very high or real-time
            priority.  It is required to consistently meet its time
            deadlines.  Do not allocate memory, access the file system,
            call library functions or call other functions from the
            stream callback that may block or take an unpredictable
            amount of time to complete.  With the exception of
            `cpu_load` it is not permissible to call PortAudio API
            functions from within the stream callback.

            In order for a stream to maintain glitch-free operation the
            callback must consume and return audio data faster than it
            is recorded and/or played.  PortAudio anticipates that each
            callback invocation may execute for a duration approaching
            the duration of *frames* audio frames at the stream's
            sampling frequency.  It is reasonable to expect to be able
            to utilise 70% or more of the available CPU time in the
            PortAudio callback.  However, due to buffer size adaption
            and other factors, not all host APIs are able to guarantee
            audio stability under heavy CPU load with arbitrary fixed
            callback buffer sizes.  When high callback CPU utilisation
            is required the most robust behavior can be achieved by
            using ``blocksize=0``.
        finished_callback : callable, optional
            User-supplied function which will be called when the stream
            becomes inactive (i.e. once a call to `stop()` will not

            A stream will become inactive after the stream callback
            raises an exception or when `stop()` or `abort()` is called.
            For a stream providing audio output, if the stream callback
            raises `CallbackStop`, or `stop()` is called, the stream
            finished callback will not be called until all generated
            sample data has been played.  The callback must have this

        change_device_parameters : bool, optional
            If ``True``, allows PortAudio to change things like the
            device's frame size, which allows for much lower latency,
            but might disrupt the device if other programs are using it,
            even when you are just querying the device.  ``False`` is
            the default.
        fail_if_conversion_required : bool, optional
            In combination with the above flag, ``True`` causes the
            stream opening to fail, unless the exact sample rates are
            supported by the device.
