Can we use the Expensify Frame work to test Voice Commands on Emulator/Device..
The feels like this should be possible, but isn't something that I've already coded.
To achieve it, you'd have to setup some sort of playback system to create the audio voice commands. This could be done, for example, by using audio playback triggered from C# SpecFlow steps on the PC - e.g. using something like DirectShow/quartz - http://csharp-slackers.blogspot.co.uk/2008/10/playing-wav-or-mp3.html
This audio would then be played out and captured back into the emulator through the speakers and microphone on the host PC - just make sure they are positioned appropriately.

Every time I'm working on a Core Audio application, specifically one that utilizes real-time audio via the remoteIO audio unit render callbacks, the moment I start the audio unit engine running whatever music I am playing via youtube or itunes is muted. I must reload the youtube page or reset my system preference audio settings to get sound back. Is there a solution to this?
Set the mix-with-others property on the Simulator's RemoteIO Audio Unit before starting it. Also enable a proper AVAudioSession category.
I'm wondering if anyone has any idea that capture audio from the device's microphone on the new Windows Phone 7 in background (Silverlight, not XNA)
or any code to do it?
Even in a Silverlight application, the Microphone is accessed via libraries in the Microsoft.Xna.* namespaces.
The use of such namespaces is not supported in a Background Task. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202962(v=vs.92)
This is not possible and would break the security principle of not allowing apps to do something that the user isn't aware of.
i am looking for differnt solutions to capture video stream from monitor screen and send it to vidoestreaming server to broadcast in web. it must occuring in "live".
i'd not like to use external services like "procaster" for broad.
OS: Windows.
it will be great to know the ideas and expirience people have to accomplish that.
Thanks all.
Recently, I build a GoLang project called ScreenStreamer, is a tool to stream current active window or full screen (Linux's or Windows's) to other device, like phone or another PC, as MJPEG over http or FLV over rtmp, it's very realtime (delay < 100ms). It works on Windows and Linux.
After building it, you can run it as:
# enter the project root directory
cd ./src/ScreenStreamer
# run it
./mjpeg or .\mjpeg.exe
# use a web browser or other video player, open http://host:port/mjpeg
./rtmp or .\rtmp.exe
# use a video player, open rtmp://host:port/live/screen

Windows SDK includes Push Source Filters Sample, which in turn contains CPushSourceDesktop filter/class.
CPushSourceDesktop: Copy of current desktop image (GDI only)
It captures desktop image and pushes it into DirectShow pipeline. From there on you can process it using video compression codec and stream it to remote location. A decent screen image compression codec is included with Windows Media subsystem, network streaming will have to be a custom or third party component. Alternatively, it is possible to make the capture class a virtual camera and have Windows Media Encoder broadcast it (or, it already has a simila feature built in).
Alternatively, you can check VNC (or one of the clones) source code and see how it hooks windows and captures image updates, then compresses them and makes it available for remote applications.
Note that you will have to specifically capture non-GDI images (such as coming from video/gaming applications, which use hardware acceleration and non-RGB surffaces).
I would like to mute other applications sounds when my application is playing a sound. I know that this is possible in Windows 7 because it allows sound control on a per-application basis.
The specific scenario is my app needs to have its sound play exclusively; if other applications (eg Winamp, Media Player Classic etc) are playing a sound, they should be muted for the duration of the sound played by my application.
I would like to know how it can be done using Delphi? Which library/system call?
I doubt this is easily achieved.
What if the other apps took the same view? Suppose another app decided that it wanted its sound to play and mute all other apps. Which app would win?
On Vista & above you can do this by using CoreAudio/WASAPI & an exclusive mode stream.
Mumble is doing this, you can look at source code.
I'd like to try creating some sound effects with the windows phone 7. I found a sample from microsoft that shows how to get the input from the microphone.
Microphone Input Sample
I don't know anything about sound manipulation through code - are there any example for changing the pitch, tone, etc of the microphone input?
Take a look at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.SoundEffect. It has the ability to alter pitch and pan when playing a sound.
You could also try experimenting with the DopplerScale and DistanceScale.
